French knot

I couldn’t understand her powers of concentration when she rolled a French knot or toiled over a tatted collar in Sewing class at school.

Her hair had come down from its French knot and stuck all over her face, and her good blouse was smeared with black ash.

The trouble was that lazy daisies needed French knots for their centers and I hated making French knots.

She has been working with scientists to create a map of the different kinds of microbes on our skin, using different colours of French knots to represent different types of organisms.

There are chain stitches, French knots and some even are detailed like small flowers to stitch the fabric together.
