About the Four-Legged Knot
The Four-Legged Knot Stitch is a very easy stand-alone single knot stitch. It looks like a knot in the center 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.
How to do the Four-Legged Knot
 |  |
| Fig 1: As shown, Bring the needle out from A, in through B, and out through C. Point C is at the 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 a straight line to C. You get a knot with four legs. The length of the legs can be adjusted by adjusting the distance of the stitch between A, B, and C. |
