How to do Four Legged Knot Stitch| Hand embroidery stitch tutorial

 Hi all 

Hope all are doing well and good.  After a long time I have come up with a picture tutorial for doing four legged knot stitch.  

This  stitch can be used as a single stand alone stitch or can be worked scattered over an area as a filling stitch.

VIDEO TUTORIAL 

 Let’s see the steps one by one. 

1)  Start with a straight stitch from A - B

2) Bring the needle up at C.

3)  place the working thread over the straight stitch from C.

4) Pass the needle under the straight stitch from above the crossing thread.

5)  Twist the thread under the needle as shown.

6)  Pull through the thread.  A knot will be formed over the straight stitch.

7)  Anchor the thread by inserting the thread at a point left of the knot and straight line to C.

A four legged knot is formed.
