French Knots

This knot, in my opinion, is the easiest and most commonly used embroidery knot. It is very easy and extremely useful!

First, enter the fabric on your drawn dot.


Twist the thread 1-4 times around your needle. Traditionally it was only twisted around once, but I prefer doing it twice. Four times, or at least, for most fabrics, is excessive, because it is difficult to pull through.


Then, exit right next to - but not on top of - where you just entered, keeping the working thread taut. It should form a neat knot!
