Schematic drawing of a slanting blanket stitch.
Drawing by Martin Henze.
A slanting blanket stitch is a form of blanket stitch, but instead of the upright elements of the stitch being straight they slant slightly to one side.
To work this stitch the needle is inserted at the top of the stitch being made, and then made to emerge near to the lower limit of the stitch. The needle is brought out over the working thread, so forming a long straight stitch with a looped edge on the lower line. Its form suggests a slanting letter L.
