Making this knot to join two ends of thread is a bit fiddly if the ends are short. I recommend changing the thread while there is still enough left to hold on to.
I worked both the back and front of the stitches in these samplers, to show how they look both ways. Sometimes I cut the thread ends very close to the knot, sometimes I left the ends in takt.
