Criss Cross Hungarian in Many Variations

Ada Hayden of Eye Candy loves Criss Cross Hungarian and so do I.  It is a very pretty and versatile stitch and it works in small areas, too.  You just need to have enough space for 2-3 repeats of the larger motif that makes up the stitch.

Ada loves it so much she's diagrammed the stitch plus a bunch of interesting variations on her blog.  It's a fun read with a lot of great stitches you can try that are relatives of Criss Cross Hungarian for times when you want something similar but not too similar.

Ada promises more variations later.  I'll update this article when she posts more.
