I have heard so many people say that they could never get the Solomon's knot (SK) to work. I have been asked for a photo explanation so folks could match up their work to see if they were doing it right. So, this is my attempt to help folks learn how to do Solomon's Knot!
These images are from a recent design, so i will be showing two Solomon's knots together in series (I call it a SK, SK loop).
Starting point (just completed a sc)
Pull up a loop (a long loop)
yarn over
pull up a loop
yarn over
Pull up a loop (should have two loops on hook)
yarn over
Pull up a loop (this completes a Solomon's Knot (SK))
Just completing 1st Solomons Knot, we pull up another long loop
yarn over
pull up a loop
Insert hook in large loop (again two strands under hook, 1 strand on top of hook)
yarn over
Pull up a loop (resulting in two loops on hook)
yarn over
pull up a loop (You have now completed a second Solomon's knot)
Insert hook into sc in the middle of the next SK,SK loop
yarn over
pull up a loop
yarn over
pull up a loop (you are back where you started at a completed sc)
This photo just shows how the single crochet stitches are going into the middle of the SK,SK loop and what an SK, SK loop looks like.
