Basic Needlepoint Stitches-Half Cross Stitch. Half Cross is not the world's greatest stitch. It doesn't cover the canvas particularly well, but it is easy to learn and good for areas where you are only doing a few stitches of one color. That is why we include it in this tutorial of basic needlepoint stitches. The defining factor of this stitch is that it has a vertical stitch on the wrong side of the canvas. Start at the top left of your canvas or block of color. Work from left to right in a row across the canvas and then return.
