Insert the needle at point B and bring it out on the upper line of the triangle just to the side of the first stitch. Take a stitch

at the bottom of the triangle just above the first stitch and insert the needle on the upper line near point B and next to the last stitch. Bring it out on the upper line near point A and close to the last stitch. Repeat until the triangle is covered.
