Simple and effective, this short project is great for an autumnal evening and for mastering that oh-so-simple-looking, yet just slightly tricky French knot stitch. The pattern here consists of a French knot followed by, and connected to, a running stitch.

Step 1Thread your needle with a length of pink tapestry thread approximately 12in (30cm long) and tie a knot in the end of the thread. Turn the cuff of the glove over a little so you can start sewing from the inside, hiding the knot.
-
Step 2Bring the needle through to the front of the glove and then put the point back in right next to where it came up.
-
Step 3Hold the tapestry wool taut and wrap around the needle four times to make a good-sized knot. Without letting go of the wool, go back down through to the inside of the glove, slipping the needle through the wraps to form a knot. Bring the needle back up onto the surface of the glove a little further down the glove from your French knot - http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/french-knot-2
-
Step 4Now weave up and down approximately 12 times down the length of the glove and finish with the thread on the inside. Tie off your thread.
-
Step 5Repeat steps 1–3 on either side of your original line of stitches, staggering the knots and running stitches to create a woven-looking placement. Then with the burgundy thread repeat the process in between an outer line and the central one.
-
Step 6Finish with another French knot and line of stitches in yellow on the other side of the central line.
