How to write sit in cursive

  1. 1Write s, i, t as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
  2. 2Go back and dot the i and cross the t.
Strokes: 3Pencil lifts: 2Letters: 3

Size is what makes sit readable: tall t and midline-height s and i. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.

How the letters in sit connect

Follow the joins as you write sit: s ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of i; i ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t.
