Fluffy French Knots... I really can not get enough of them. They are such a work horse of a stitch. In the video below, I show you how I combine these stitches to make a fluffy, highly textured flower in my Apple Blossom Wildwood design.
To do a French knot in hand embroidery, you can follow these steps:
- Bring the needle up through the fabric where you want the knot to be
- Point the needle away from the work and wrap the thread around the needle once or twice
- Turn the needle and go back down through the fabric in or near the same hole you came up through
- Hold the thread tightly but not too tight
- Bring the needle back down through the fabric with the other hand
- Pull the thread and let go
