Choose or sketch your pattern such as geometric shapes, flowers, or abstract motifs work best. Lightly outline the design on the cane using a pencil or tape to guide your stitches.
Cut a length of yarn and thread your needle. Start stitching from the inside of the cabinet panel so your knots remain hidden. Then pull the yarn gently through the cane holes, creating neat, even X shapes.
Continue filling the pattern, switching colors as needed. To prevent tangling, work in small sections and secure each yarn end at the back with a simple knot.
Once finished, trim any loose ends and check for balance in the design. You can lightly press the yarn with your hand to flatten it if needed.
Reattach the cane panels or doors to your cabinet, step back, and admire your creative transformation.
