Here is another stitch suitable for canvas work. Although it is called Knotted Stitch there is no knot. For us who often have to unpick stitches, this is good news!
I came across Knotted Stitch on Kimberly Ouimet's blog. She has some very clear pictures. You can see them here.
For the best result, use Aida or any other fabric with a good grid. The stitch is easy and very straight forward, just look at these photographs.
Try out the stitch on the usual sampler, reference chart and scribble cloth, as well as the canvas sampler.
The knotting is a little more convincing in wool on canvas, but yes, it should really be called False Knot Stitch!
ReplyDeleteThis is a new one for me. I like it!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a very great stitch to try. Not sure why it's called knotted stitch, for me this could be a cross stitch variation.
