Crochet Geek - Solomon's Knot aka Love Knot Crochet Stitch Variation 1

[CraftyRayven]

I love these videos! I learn so much from them. But I have to ask, am I the only one that is just a little creeped out by the nails? Just saying..

[nbarrasse]

actually i'm more confused with once you stich the first crochet single at the end and then continue. it appears that you do a double crochet

[nbarrasse]

I'm wondering when your reversed it, continuing the second time around if you skipped ahead to 3 knots? I'm confused on how you got 3 since you first showed us continuing onto 5. Please explain the continuation

[mimithomas69]

You are the best...............I learned crocheting from you it's so much easier for me to learn when I watch your videos

[tjw1963]

@mimithomas69 Thank you very much.

[tjw1963]

@mimithomas69 Thank you very much. 

[mimithomas69]

Can you show how to make this as a hat with a thicker band as a base

[GA1949]

Beautiful, I like the way you teach slowly so that one can see exactly how it is done.

[midniqhtblue]

I saw that some already asked this, but I couldn't find it in the comments: How would you do this in the round? I have a cuff design that I'd like to add this too, so also, how would you do an increase?

[szuszuszuwar]

hi!

is it important in which place on the knot you stick the crochet when you want to join 2 knots together?

asking because mine become a bit loose and formless when i joined them...

[igotitbad4seanpenn]

can an entire afghan be made from this stitch?

[cats23sara]

i want to make a vest out of this kind of stitch, is it possible?

[tjw1963]

@cats23sara It should be possible. If you have a favorite vest pattern, you can replace the stitch with this stitch. There may be some trial and error with the modification.

[incilarobertson]

Thank you Theresa you teach very well.

[tjw1963]

@incilarobertson Thank you!

[mariamuslim]

love the way you are teaching i will make it for myself for sure

[tjw1963]

@I appreciate the comment, thank you

[angied1013]

Theresa, I have been trying this stitch for over a month now, watching video after video (I couldn't find one in your stream). FINALLY, yours came up in the search and I got it right away! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Your instructions and videos are always the BEST ones out there! I would also love to see a video on how to do the next row of stitches, where do I put the stitch to make that squared look I see in so many pretty shawls?

[hollyTHEjones]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video; you made it very easy to learn! If anyone is looking to learn this stitch, it's great for making a lot of progress in a short period of time. I just made a scarf in 2 hours, and I had never used the stitch before. Thanks again!

[shannonrb64]

Hi, do you have a video of how to do this knot left-handed. I'm having a heck of a time converting... Thank you, Shannon

[ramlahjaffar]

easy to follow. Thank you.

[maja0106]

Hey Teresa, how could I do a round with this stitch? For example, if I wanted to do a hat or a bag and would have to have increases (and maybe decreases)? Thanks :)

[tjw1963]

@maja0106 You are welcome.

[nathalhya]

can you put this video in the left handed version?? i tried a couple of times but i get confused ... thank you !!!!

[SuperLilGem]

if u want a left hand version, sit with your back facing your monitor. hold a mirror in your hand and watch it over your shoulder, reversed.

[loriannn77]

hello could you please show me how to do this stich to make a scarf how do i get to the next row? thanks

[xochitlmtzgcia]

hola i have 3 thread rolls of nylon No.18 and i was wondering if its posible to use it to crochet a vest with solomon´s knot. if not can you recomend me an open stitch i can use with this material ? gracias

[tjw1963]

You probably could make a vest using the knot stitch, with the right pattern. It is not something I have done before. Let me know if it works for you.

[mafaldareina]

Is this the same stitich you use in the babe dress??

[unm069]

oye, qué bien enseñas! hasta parece cámara lenta, aunque no entienda en inglés, pero con este video...guau! así aprendemos muy bien. Gracias. Ana. de la CD. DE MEXICO.

[tjw1963]

Agradezco el comentario, gracias.

[Sher1262]

Well done, I could not figure this out from an instruction book and you clearified everything. Thank you for your video.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[CatTheRawr]

Any time I don't understand a term or stitch, you are always the first place I look to! Thank you so, so much for this.

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. Happy crocheting. :)

[kantabella]

Wow, very clear instructions; I am a crochet newbie who just learned the love knot! Thank you!!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[GBPkariann]

This is a brilliant video! Thank you so much for making it :) Now I will try to make my own. In Norway we call it Angel stitch :) (Englemasker)

[tjw1963]

You are welcome.  Some stitches have many different names.

[firstmorningdew]

Thank you for the video:) We call this one "the spider web".

Slow motion demonstration makes all clear. Thanks again:)

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[christophersgirl420]

do you think this would be the stitch i would need to use for a fish net type of waste wrap like what you would buy in a store and how would i go about making it like a big triangle to wrap around my waste as an accessorie.

[tjw1963]

You would add increases each row at the end to make a triangle. I have added it to my list of projects. If I am able to come up with something, I will post the pattern.

[BravaEncore]

Thank you for showing us this stitch (it looks so cute in a baby dress!)

As I was watching this pattern I thought that if we connect the rows (single crochets) not in the same column, but in a checkerboeard fashion, then it will become a very loose net. You know that crochet was first done by men, fishermen precisely. I was wondering if this is how they were doing their nets? And the name of this stitch suggests that it is rather ancient. What do you think?

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :) I have often thought that it reminded me of a fishing net but I don't know how they did it.

[ennosenze25]

I am gonna try to make a shawl w/ this pattern...wish me luck :)

[tjw1963]

It looks more difficult that what it really is. Good luck. :)

[montrealstars60]

Teresa guess what, I've seen shopping bags with this stitch... I want to try doing a scarf first.

[tjw1963]

It will make a nice shopping bag with some heavy crochet cotton.

[WhiteAbyssion]

Teresa,I have learned alot from your videos, You use to say what your doing threw your whole demo, which was great! since some people listen to what you are saying, while crocheting it. ty

[tjw1963]

Thank you for writing. I still do say what I am doing. I would say about two-thirds of this video is slow motion so I mute the sound during the editing process as I do with any segment that may have slow motion.

[tomlingevol]

hi,Teresa,i wanna ask u a question,i wanna used this love knot to make a scarf,how many stiches i need to make a scarf?thankyou!

irene

[tjw1963]

That would depend on how long you want your scarf. I would suggest that you decide on a measurement and then make your foundation to that length or width. You can use the Knot stitch to make your foundation length or width.

[tomlingevol]

thankyou so much,i have made a scarf with this Knot stitch!if have time i would like to show u that scarf i have made...

irene

[tjw1963]

That would be great. You are more than welcome to post a video response. :)

[montrealstars60]

This has to be the most original stitch I've ever seen... It is so beautiful and delicate... I would say even a romantic work of art!

[mizukeh]

Hi Teresa! This is something Ill definetely try. Do you have any projects in mind to use this stitch on? It looks fun and easy. Id love to do something with it!

[tjw1963]

This could be used as a scarf, shawl or lacy outer shirt over another shirt.

[geminigirl0527]

Beautiful stitch Theresa! I just love your videos and look forward to watching them!  Thanks for the tutorials!

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[san30s]

cool one just couple of days ago downloaded a shawl pattern of love knot.....thanks for the dema will really help...Seema

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. I have a second variation for this coming up soon. The knot is the same but the placement of the SC on the second row is what is different. It is a fun and quick stitch to make.
