Colonial Knot Stitch - Tutorial

Hi all

Hope all are doing well.  Yesterday I have  posted a design for colonial knot stitch. Today I am happy to share the tutorial for doing the colonial knot.  

I have used all the 6 strands to do the knot.  6 strands looks good. 

Here below is a picture of french and colonial knot.  The colonial knot looks somewhat lifted up and it is bigger than french knot.  For both the stitches I have used 6 strands of thread.

I hope all of you have find this tutorial useful. I will be back with another finish in crochet tomorrow.  Till then, have a happy time with needle and thread.

Embroidery Design - Colonial Knot stitch

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well.  I am happy to share with you a new embroidery design which uses the colonial knot stitch.

The stitch looks similar to french knot but the way we wrap the thread is a little different. Colonial knot looks somewhat raised than french knots.  But some people say the other way.  The difference between the two stitches is not that much seen but if observe closely the difference can be noticed by  only those who know these two stitches. 

I have used a simple design to work these stitches.  You can also replace with french knots and the projects that uses french knots can also be replaced with colonial knots.  Tomorrow I will post the tutorial for doing colonial knot.  Now onto the design.
