Embroidered Flower Gardens: French Knot Flowers

Clusters of French knots can be used to create all kinds of effects in a flower garden. Once you get the hang of the French knot, you can add all kinds of interest and dimension to a garden scene.

Don't limit yourself to the centers of flowers! Bunch them together and see what you can create. The French knot is an easy stitch to work. Check out the French knot video tutorial for help.



These flowers are stitched with two strands of overdyed cotton. The stems are worked in stem stitch, and the leaves are detached chain stitches.
