aspect of this stitch lies in the tightness of the knot. It is imperative that a single strand of yarn be used to create the knot. This will prevent the knot from becoming loose. The thickness of the knot is determined by how many strands of yarn are used. Obviously, the more strands, the thicker the knot.
