Danish Knot Stitch Step-by-Step Tutorial
1. Start by bringing the needle up through the fabric at the top point of the triangle. Bring the needle back down through the fabric at the bottom right corner of the triangle, making a straight stitch.
2. Next, bring the needle up through the fabric in the bottom left corner of the triangle. Then slide the needle under the straight stitch with the tip pointed towards the bottom left corner. Gently pull the thread so that it wraps around the straight stitch.
3. Slide the needle under the straight stitch again, with the tip of the needle pointed towards the bottom left corner. This time, the tip of the needle should go over the thread coming out of the fabric. Again, gently tug the thread so that it is flush with the fabric.
4. To end the Danish knot, bring the needle back down through the fabric in the bottom left corner of the triangle. This creates one Danish knot.
