How to do the woven cross stitch?

Woven cross stitch aka cross stitch flower 

and interwoven cross stitch

This is really easy embroidery stitch. 

You just need to make double cross stitches.

First, make one cross stitch.

And  then make an overlapped diagonal stitch 

in the same direction as the first stitch you made.

Finally, make another diagonal stitch 

in the opposite direction.

But be careful in the last stitch.

Move the needle up and down 

to weave two threads on the center.

This is the woven cross stitch.
