Toroko Stitch
This is a filler or border stitch. You can make it as big as you like based on how much coverage you need. It’s a simple combination of various cross stitches.

You start with your vertical stitches. Make them as long as you like but be advised that the horizontal stitches run every 6th hole so you will want to plan for that. I like the look of leaving one or two holes excess at the top and bottom.

Count over six




move on to your horizontal base stitches


count up six


now you have your base

next, you start filling in your boxes with a horizontal cross stitch




finally, work your half cross stitches
