This stitch is also called Solomon's Knot, Love Knot, Hail Stone and
Lover's Knot. A lacey, airy crochet stitch. This stitch can be made as
short or as long as one want, determined by the length of the center
loop. In the past, a common use has been to make knot stitch for shawls
but in contemporary crochet patterns, it's often combined with more
solid stitches, for an interesting effect.
Having one loop on the needle, draw it out to the length of 3 ch,
thread over the needle and draw through, making an ordinary chain
stitch, drawn out to three times its normal length. Then put the needle
under that one of the 3 threads of the long loop which seems to lie by
itself, draw the thread through and make a single stitch. This is the
knot stitch.
