How to work the
French knots
To work a French knot, bring the needle up
through the fabric where you want the knot
to form. Hold the thread down with your left
hand and wind it round the needle twice. Still
holding the thread taut, push the needle down
through the fabric, close to where it came up.
Pull your thread to create a neat knot.
“Stitching such playful, loveable designs
will be a treat in itself in the run up to
Christmas and these cards are sure to
make the recipient smile.”
