How to do the knotted loop stitch 

This stitch is worked from right to left.

Draw three parallel lines on your fabric.

Bring your thread out from the far right of the center line.

Insert the needle into the top line.  

Take out the needle from the bottom line. 

Pull the thread through.

As a result, a single diagonal stitch is made.

Place the thread above the stitch.

Pass the needle under the diagonal stitch.

Gently pull the thread. 

 Move slightly to the left 

and insert the needle into the top line.

Then take out the needle from the bottom line.

Pass the needle again. 

The thread must be under the needle tip.

This is the knotted loop stitch.
