For this stitch insert the
needle into the material as for the common back stitch, draw it out
underneath the needle on the opposite outline of the pattern, so as to
form on the wrong side a slanting line. Insert the needle again as for
common back stitch; draw it out slanting at the place marked for the
next stitch on the opposite outline, as shown in illustration 71.
[Illustration: 73--- Knotted Stitch.]
ILLUSTRATION 73 shows the knotted stitch; the simplest way of working it
is to work two back stitches at a short distance from each other over
the same thread.
The knotted stitch seen in ILLUSTRATION 74 is worked thus:--Take about
four threads of the material on the needle, draw the needle half out,
wind the cotton twice round the point of the needle, hold it tight with
the thumb, draw the needle out carefully and insert it at the place
where the stitch was begun, and draw it out at the place where the next
stitch is to be worked.

[Illustration: 75.--Knotted Stitch]
The knotted stitch seen on ILLUSTRATION 75 is worked in nearly the same
manner as the preceding one.
