Pearl Knot Stitch In Hand Embroidery (Step By Step & Video)

May 10, 2019 By fasembroidery 1 Comment

Pearl Knot Stitch is a simple and beautiful stitch that looks pretty elegant. You can work with different amount of strands of floss to get a different effect to it.

What you will need?

  • Any fabric.
  • Embroidery hoop, 15cm (6″) (Bigger if you are working on a larger design) ( You can purchase a set of 6 hoops from Amazon for your basic needs.)
  • Tapestry needle
  • Embroidery thread (You can buy this pack of 36 shades of the DMC embroidery floss.)

How many strands of floss do you need for making the Pearl Knot Stitch?

You can use all 6 strands of the floss. But if you are working on a finer design, then start with 2 strands of floss and increase the number of strands according to your design. I have used 3 strands for making this stitch.

Step by Step Pictorial Process of making the Pearl Knot Stitch

starting the stitch

1. Start by bringing the thread up at the start of the line. Insert the needle at the desired length as shown in the above picture. The point from where you insert will lie on the lie to just above it.

2. Pull the thread up and you will notice a stitch must have formed. Take the needle and insert on the stitch as shown above. Pull the thread.
