This Exercise Will make You MASTER the FRENCH KNOT in No Time!

[@susanhart9923]

The French knot is one stitch I've never been able to do to my satisfaction. I've been avoiding patterns that call for many knots as I felt my knots were so bad that it made the whole finished design look like it was my first try. I will try your grid technique until I finally get it right. Thank you!

Great explanation! Thank you!🙋‍♀️👌

[@moonglade_motel]

I scoured the internet for a video to teach me how to do a french not, as I have tried and failed many times. This finally did it. Thank you!!

Thanks for your great videos Elin, I love French Knot..😊 I'm Yenni from Indonesia

[@susmitakamath2158]

I love all of your works and the daintiness of all the little details in your projects ❤️ Thank you for making this helpful video about french knots. One question i have is that, how do we get the french knot to look more like a rose (which i have observed in your other videos). Is it the same exact technique as you demonstrated here? Thank you and keep up the wonderful work! 🌞

[@CharlesElin]

Thank you for your sweet message! Yes it is the same technique to make it look like a flower. To make the effect more obvious that it is a flower we usually use more strands and less loops. For example if you watch the video of Saint Germain backyard, I use 6 strands and 1 to 2 loops max, the effect works perfectly :) Hope that helps, Best, Charles

Thanks for thus video. Would it be possible to have a small project where you show a shading effect with the french knot (like the eye of your video)?

[@CharlesElin]

Thanks for the input! We are definitely considering to make a little project trial - perhaps not the eye to begin with as it's quite time consuming and many different elements to take into consideration, but we want to develop a follow up for how to start implementing it in designs and maybe a smaller project to try!

Buenísimo video!!! Y explicación genial!!!!👏👏👏 I'm very happy to finded us!!!!!💎💖

[@CharlesElin]

Happy to have you here! 💕

[@pwelford968]

Thanks. I think I'm doing it as you say. My French knots look fine initially but after moving on to work on other parts I notice I often have one loose thread which peels off and flips over to either stand vertically above the main not or horizontally out to the side. Any ideas please?

[@CharlesElin]

Hello Paul! Thanks for your comment, do you make sure to hold tight the thread until the end of the knot?

[@pwelford968]

@@CharlesElin I think so although it can be hard to do it all the way through consistently. Are you saying a little less tension part way through can do it, even if you have reasonable tension at the end?

[@hilkep729]

Can you make a video on how to make that gorgeous eye embroidery?

[@CharlesElin]

I am building a whole masterclass for it! It needs a lot of work but it will be publish in our Academy next month I hope!

[@hilkep729]

Awesome!!

[@hugh_dancy]

@@CharlesElin hi i just found this video a year after this comment was made. has your masterclass been made ? i loved the eye embroidery as well !!

[@CharlesElin]

Hey! Yes we made a masterclass call French Knot Realism on charlesandelinacademy.com

[@DajanaDarling]

5:25 Two turns, not two strands. But with the video it's really clear anyway. Thank you for your great videos and your content on Instagram. It's really motivating :)

[@CharlesElin]

Ah thanks for finding that! But I'm glad the video makes it all clear - that's the most important! Thank you so much for all your support, It's motivating us in return to continue to make great content!

[@JoltKing]

Do you tie the tread to the needle or just leave it untied?

[@CharlesElin]

We don't tie the thread to the needle :)
