First the four squares are outlined with Romaine stitch.

I worked the stitch in one direction on the top left and bottom right squares and the opposite direction on the remaining two squares. The instructions did not call for this but it pleases me to have adjacent stitches pointing in the same direction.

Five rice stitches are then worked into each square.

Happy Stitching

Rice stitch is a really useful one - it looks quite delicate and lacey here, but as a canvaswork stitch in wool, it's sturdy and hardwearing, and much more interesting than tent stitch!
