Pass two needles through from the flesh side of the paired holes on the left and right. Then take each needle diagonally across to the opposite hole so the stitches cross, and pass each needle back through from the flesh side of the hole opposite the one it just went through. Repeating this produces a cross stitch.
At the start and end of the seam, it is best to backstitch once or twice in the left and right holes.
