Herringbone stitching. Use the thread from a spare piece of canvas to match. Done correctly it is as waterproof as the surrounding canvas, bit fiddly on fine canvas but prevents the rip progressing. See here

Ignore any references to embroidery stitches anywhere as they are not true herringbone stitches.
