Pistil Stitch or Long-Tailed French Knot

A Pistil stitch is simply a straight stitch with an attached French or Colonial knot.

Come up at A.  Holding the thread, wrap the needle 2-3 times clockwise.


Bring the needle down at B, keeping the thread taut.  

Note: Various design instructions will typically specify the number of wraps needed for that particular element. ​​
