Over the years I have seen Solomon’s knot crochet used in so many projects. It always seemed complicated even though anyone crocheting them always told me it was simple. There are so many ways the technique can be used when using different materials and weights of yarn.
- shawl
- scarf
- blanket
- wrap or poncho
- cardigan
- beanie
- curtain
- table cloth or runner
- edging on another technique
- lace applique
- bag
- jewellery
I finally decided to learn how to make Solomon’s knots. There are many videos about it but still, it took me a while to understand the difference between making a rectangular or square piece as compared to a triangle piece. You attach the loops slightly differently. Therefore it was natural for me to make a video about each type. In the videos, I explain the technique the way I myself found it easiest to understand.

Very nice tutorial. It looks like a complicated stitch, it does not look difficult to do after seeing it done. Thanks for sharing! I sadly gave up on knitting and crochet due to an allergic response I have with all fibers. Even my clothes, such as flannel, or anything that sheds I had to get rid of. I really miss it but if it makes me unwell it isn’t so hard to come to the decision to stop it all together. I am reading more which is very good, less TV. That’s pretty amazing you travel alone! I have seen Ireland on Instagram short stories. A very talented young woman traveled there with her husband as he is from Ireland and went to a wedding there. They live in the USA. So many beautiful places they visited, the interior of some of the castles were just lovely! My father’s grandparents were from Ireland but we don’t have much information. Some records from Ellis island, but no one knows what county they were from. Enjoy your travels and creating!
Thank you for your comment! Very sorry to hear you can’t use any fibers anymore. Is there something like fine plastic or nylon twine you could use, they don’t have any hairs?
Yes, lots of lovely places in Ireland, and of course all over the world. So interesting about your background in Ireland, maybe you can start looking into that more. You might be able to find more information. All the best!
A lot of ladies are making mats and all kind of things out of plastic bags and such there are some nice patterns out there
