Gobelin stitch
Gobelin stitch is a slanting stitch used in needlepoint. Gobelin stitch takes its name from its resemblance to the texture of woven tapestries produced by the famous French factory at Gobelins.[1]

Gobelin stitch.
According to Thérèse de Dilmont in the Encyclopedia of Needlework:
This is worked over two horizontal threads and one perpendicular. In a frame, you can work the second row, from right to left, otherwise, you must turn the work round, and bring out your needle behind the last-made stitch.[2]
Notes
gollark: Hmm, actually looking at my projects list has reminded me, I should fix my `stack-overflow-import` fork somehow.
gollark: I don't, actually.
gollark: (those are on pastebin anyway)
gollark: And here I was thinking they might want to be forewarned of any mildly evil project I made or something...
gollark: That prompted me to check my stuff, and hydraz/matheus followed me on github for some reason? How odd.
