Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 295: Backstitched German Knot Square

 It is time to learn from Madam Totsuka again. Today's stitch is from Totsuka Embroidery Stitch Book #6.

I have marked the fabric with the square.


Follow the photo instructions:

Work your way round the square with Back Stitch.




Make a long Straight Stitch


Add the German Knot over the threads only of the square and the long stitch.


Anchor.


Continue in the same way round the square.





I made a larger square in Blue.


I made a green square with longer legs on the German Knot.


Homework

Add to these samplers.

I don't think I've seen anything like this stitch before. They look like tiny picture frames.

That would be wonderful to make leaded lights for a window!

Looks like a complicated stitch to me. And when I looked at the night sky, I imagined that I would like to see an object shaped like this.😊
