Tips for Celtic Knot Details
Celtic knotwork in crochet is created with surface crochet: long chains woven over and under themselves on a finished fabric base, then secured with slip stitches. Practice the knot pattern on a swatch first, since the weaving order matters. A single bold knot at the center of the chest makes a stunning focal point.
