The Swedish name is Knapphålsstygn På Högkant! A mouthful in any language!
Updated: French names, Point Perlé, Point de Perle, Point Mille Pattes
I have found Pearl Stitch or Pearl Knot Stitch in these books, but they vary slightly in the instructions.
My favorite instruction is online at Sarah's Hand Embroidery Tutorials.

I haven't used this stitch before. Looks interesting.
I remember working this stitch early on. I've never managed to make it look like it does in the books!
A nice looking stitch on the Aida fabric.
Je n'ai rien trouvé de précis pour ce point
Il y a toujours une petite variation
- dans le M. Thomas : point perlé
et dans d'autres livres :
- point de perle
- point mille pattes
Voilà

Great stitching Queenie.
I love seeing your stitch collection together on
the different fabrics.
Very nice.
Easy and knobbly. You can vary the length of both vertical and horisontal parts, so many looks can be achieved.
The longer the stitches are the more difficult it is to get it to look neat. I prefer the very tight rope like look of short stitches.
Yes, it is nice to find a stitch that works on Aida!
First, here is Google translation:
I did not find anything specific for this point
There is always a small variation
- in Mr Thomas: beaded stitch
and in other books:
- pearl point
- centipede point

Oh, I like the names beaded stitch, centipede stitch!
Having a variety of samplers you can see how a particular stitch behaves on these various pieces of fabric. I love Aida as the holes are easy to find, but many stitches don't sit well on such a grid-fabric.
I like this stitch, it is fun and easy on any fabric.
