Tent Stitch

Tent stitch is a type of embroidery stitch commonly used in needlework, particularly in canvas or cross-stitch projects. It creates a simple, diagonal stitch that forms a small, square shape, resembling a tent, hence the name. This stitch is often used to fill in areas of a design or to create patterns. It is versatile and easy for beginners to learn while allowing for intricate designs by layering stitches or combining colors. Tent stitch is popular in many crafts, including needlepoint and tapestry, and it contributes to the texture and visual appeal of the finished piece.
