Lavangam Stitch / Long French Knot / Pistil Stitch

Lavangam Stitch / Long French Knot / Pistil Stitch

Lavangam stitch is also known as Long French Knot / Pistil Stitch.....it is a variation of French knot. This is a simple and easy stitch which even begginer's can try. I have used three stands of Anchor threads for this stitch. This stitch can be used as a border or for flowers even as straight line.

Things required are:

1. Fabric / Cloth

2. Needle

3. Thread

4. Hoops

Method:

# Draw a pattern or design....put a knot in the thread, take the needle under the fabric.... keep your thread towards your left....hold it with your thumb finger twist your needle twice or thrice with the thread (as we do for our french knot) leaving some space place the needle and pull the thread down....as shown in the below pictures.

The back side of the Lavangam stitch would look like this:

Put a knot at the back side or your stitch.
