GRANITO OVAL
 
The Granito Oval, like the Granito, consists of multiple Backstitches made in the same holes. The difference here is that you're not trying to fill in a circle. It is more common for Granitos to end up looking like Granito Ovals than the other way round.

This stitch makes a lovely little raised leaf or petal, common in Whitework and in Madeira Embroidery.
