Cross Stitch French Knot Howto

From my cross stitch web site, Better Cross Stitch Patterns.com. Even some experienced cross stitchers find the French knot difficult to make, and beginning stitchers are often reluctant to choose patterns containing them. I think this technique will make it easier to learn and to execute. I'll do several in a row, so grab a piece of fabric, thread your needle and do them with me.

OMG thank you so much for this video! I needed and I've been looking everywhere for help except here! Thank you for explaing it so simply. My mother and all the other help I've had made it look so hard!!!

@coachvee Oh yeah, also wanted to remark how amazingly practiced you looked doing that. I've been cross stitching for some time, but I'm not that good! :)

Excellent video, extremely clear since you do it repeatedly. The mistake(s) I was making the most included going back into the same hole I came up from, and also, rather than wrapping the thread around with my left hand, trying to "twirl" it round with my right... because doing it with my left hand initially seemed awkward! (It didn't help I was doing this with a single very thin strand of metallic thread, as directed in the gift tags I was doing, making it really fiddly!) Thanks :D
