Learn to Crochet - Solomon's Knot Video Tutorial

A lacy crocheted scarf or wrap is sometimes just the perfect accessory for your spring or fall wardrobe, or a beautiful and thoughtful gift for someone special. Here is a stitch that works up fairly quickly and could be worked in a fine fancy yarn, or something big and chunky, and come out quite nice. It's called Solomon's Knot, and it's fun to do!


Here you can see the small sample I worked up and used to demonstrate the stitch in the video below. It looks complicated, but in fact is quite simple, as long as you pay attention to where you put your hook when making the knot.

Watch the video, and then grab some yarn and a hook and stitch along with the video until you get the hang of it. It's fun to do and turns out so pretty.

Solomon's Knot

Beginning chain is a multiple of 4, plus 2 extra.

Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in second chain (ch) from hook. Work a double knot (see video). Skip 3 ch, 1 sc in next ch, *1 double knot, skip 3 ch, 1 sc in next stitch.* Work from * to * to the end of the chain. Work 3 single knots for the 3-knot turning 'chain'. Turn.

Row 2: 1 sc in center of last double knot of previous row. *1 double knot, 1 sc in center of next double knot of previous row.* Work from * to * across the row. Work 3-knot turning 'chain'.

Turn and repeat Row 2 until desired length. End last row with a double knot instead of a 3-knot turning 'chain'. To finish, work (3 sc, sc in center of double knot) across and finish off.

I'll be using this stitch for a new project very soon. Have you ever used this stitch? What kind of project do you think it would be good for? I'd love to know what you think.

Happy Stitching!
