Knotted Cretan Sample

I'm catching up with Take a Stitch Tuesday. Week 13 - knotted cretan.

I really wasn't sure about this stitch. It took a while to get the hang of it and to be honest I'm not sure I'm doing it right! I wasn't impressed by this variation until I ran my fingers over it - lots of texture!


I liked layering the threads and weaving them in and out. I'm also pleased with the fabric. I was going for an underwater effect. I used procion dyed cotton and a chiffon and folded the chiffon over the stitching at the right hand side.

Great job with the stitching and the fabric is beautiful. I like what you did with the chiffon on the right side.
