Annie’s Crafts has a free, online Cross-Stitch Stitch Guide with Basics and Beyond Basics.
Annie’s, Annie’s Crafts, Annie’s Catalog or remember when they were Annie’s Attic? Whatever you want to call them, I have found their stitch guides to be my go-to quick reference for stitches. Among other needlework, they cover cross-stitch, embroidery, and plastic canvas stitches with good charts and usually a short, to-the-point video.
