This is a very easy stand alone single knot stitch. It looks like a knot in the centre of a cross. The legs of the cross can be made short or long, depending on how you want the effect to be. This stitch can be used as a stand alone stitch or can be used in multiples as a filling stitch.

| Fig 1: As shown, Bring the needle out from A, in through B and out through C. The point C is in right angle to A and B. | Fig 2: Now, take the needle under A-B without plucking the fabric beneath. Twist the thread from C under the needle as shown. When you would pull out the needle, you would get a knot over A-B. | |
 |
Fig 3: To finish off, take the needle in through a point right angled to A and B, and in straight line to C. You get a knot with four legs. The length of the legs can be adjusted by adjusting the distance of stitch between A, B and C. |

Hi,
I have a blog related to sewing and other arts and crafts. I love your blog so much. It is just like a big dictionary where you can find all kinds of stitches.
I have linked to your blog several times for readers’ reference. It is grateful if you could link to my blog, too.
But no matter you link to my blog or not, I will continue to use it as my as well as readers’ reference. ^^

Hi,
Your site is very helpful for us.
Thank u so much……..
To assist in threading a needle for hand stitching, hold the end of the thread you are about to insert in the needle about 1/4″ from the end. This stiffens the end of the thread and makes it easier to poke into the eye of the needle. If you hold the thread too far from the end, the end becomes limp and won’t go where you want it to.
very nyc nd to easyyyyyyy..thxxxxxxx
Hi Sara
I have tried many stitches from your site and they are all awesome. I am now embroidering a doll picture and was looking for a stitch that looks like a small dot, for the eyes. That is when i hit upon this knot. will try it out for my work. There are many people who ask me where i learnt the stitches from and I have referred your site to them. Thanks not only for sharing your knowledge with us, but also for sharing it in a very structured website with index and history. It makes it easy to refer
Congrats and do keep adding stitches as and when you innovate one or come across one.
Regards,
Dhivya
