Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 146: Knotted Stitch

 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.








Here you can see how the look changes with the spacing.

Homework:
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!

This is a new one for me. I like it!

This 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.

Sorry Queenie. Blogger was not allowing me to comment in any post. Don't know whether this will get published.

All your stitch tutorials are great.
