The Long-Armed Smyrna Cross Stitch is a variation of the Smyrna Cross Stitch that incorporates a petite upright cross stitch laid over a cross stitch stitched over two squares of Aida fabric.

The stitch may be done with one or two colors of floss. This stitch is versatile and may be used to create borders or as a substitute for cross stitch in small motifs.
