How to Crochet the Solomon's Knot Stitch Photo Tutorial

The Solomon's Knot Stitch is a delicate-looking combination of chains and single crochet stitches.

But don't let the lacey fabric fool you, the Solomon's Knot allows you to create sturdy crochet mesh stitches that maintain their shape.

In this crochet knot stitch, extended chain stitch is "locked" in place with a single crochet and therefore, the stitches can't slip too far out of place.

This gives the fabric an incredible capacity to bounce back into shape after being stretched out.
