Raised Chain Stitch

Raised chain stitch. Begin with a column of evenly spaced horizontal straight stitches. Come up at A and weave the needle under the first straight stitch from below, pulling it through to the left of A. Loop the thread towards the right, leaving slack. Next weave the needle under the first straight stitch from above, on the right side of A, catching the loop, and pull through. Repeat, weaving under the second straight stitch from below and pulling through towards the left. Weave the needle under the second straight stitch from above, from the right side, catching the loop and pulling through. Finish at B to secure the final loop.
