To do the fluted column stitch,
start by ignoring the square stitches on the sides and just make a wall stitch.
So we'll start by bringing the top strand down,
and then bring the bottom strand up.
Bring the first right strand across,
then do the first left strand.
Then do the second right strand,
followed by the second left strand.
Then the third right strand.
Followed by the third left strand.
Now we can do our squares.
So on the left side we're going to make our square out of the orange
strands and the black strands and on the right side we're going to make a
square out of the pink strands and the black strands.
So we're going to want to push the other strands out of the way.
So we're going to bring this orange strand above this yellow strand,
and this orange strand above this blue strand.
Then, just make that orange square stitch.
Going over, under and over, under.
Then we'll do the same thing on the right side.
I'm going to bring this pink strand above the blue strand and this pink strand
above the yellow strand. Now over,
under, and over, under. Now we have the square on that side.
Now just tighten up the whole thing,
and just repeating that until you're ready for the finishing stitch.
