A simple line of straight stitches with the needle going up through a hole, down through the next and continuing.

Start from underneath and come up through the bottom left hole of a square of four holes. Next, go down through top right and up through bottom right before the thread is all pulled through. As the needle is pulled, make sure the loop that is tightening on the top stays below the needle and this will make a backwards ‘L’ shape as it tightens. You are now in position for the next stitch (already up through bottom left hole). Continue.
