Master the Art of Crochet Solomon Knot with Our Easy Pattern

Do you love crochet? In this post, we are going to introduce something called Crochet Solomon Knot. It isn’t your average crochet stitch.

This is a unique crochet technique that expands upon your basic crochet skills to create an entirely new look for your craft work. It is made of a lengthened chain stitch and then locked with a single crochet stitch worked into its back loop.

It produces a terrific openwork mesh design.It is a looser stitch which aids in the speed of how fast this goes and when made into a clothing piece like a shawl or scarf, makes it light enough for summer.

Crochet Solomon Knot With Pattern

Crochet enthusiasts, have you ever tried your hand at the Solomon Knot?

This exquisite stitch, also known as the Love Knot, creates a delicate, airy fabric that's perfect for lightweight garments and accessories.

In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of the Crochet Solomon Knot, providing a detailed pattern to get you started on your next project.

The Solomon Knot is a unique crochet stitch that produces a mesh-like pattern, making it ideal for shawls, scarves, and even beachwear. Its lacy appearance adds elegance to any piece, while its simplicity ensures that even beginners can master it with a bit of practice.

While it’s a classic lace stitch, the final product doesn’t have to be overly lacy — you have lots of control for easily altering this stitch pattern.

Step 1: Make the First Knot

1. Chain 1 to begin your foundation.
2. Pull up a loop on your hook to the desired length for your Solomon Knot (usually around 1/2 to 1 inch long). The height of the loop determines how large your knot will be.
3. Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook to create a long chain.
4. Insert your hook into the back loop of this long chain (the back bump, also called the “hump”).
5. Yarn over and pull up a loop (you should now have 2 loops on your hook).
6. Yarn over again and pull through both loops to complete the knot.

Tip: Keep your loops even for a consistent look. A larger loop creates a looser, lacier knot, while a smaller loop creates a denser stitch.

Step 2: Make the Second Knot

1. Pull up another loop to the same height as your first.
2. Yarn over and pull through to create a second long chain.
3. Insert your hook into the back loop of the chain.
4. Yarn over and pull up a loop, then yarn over and pull through both loops to complete the second knot.

Step 3: Continue in Solomon Knots

Repeat the steps above to create as many knots as you need for your starting row. Each knot will create one “open” stitch in your pattern.

How to Work Solomon Knot Rows

After creating your foundation row of knots, you’ll begin working additional rows in the Solomon Knot stitch.

1. Chain 1 to start your row.
2. Create a Solomon Knot as described above.
3. Insert your hook into the center of the first knot from the previous row, yarn over, and complete a single crochet.
4. Continue across the row by creating a Solomon Knot, then single crocheting into the center of each knot from the previous row.
