The class on Irish Crochet really expanded my knowledge, I usually do not work with thread and tiny hooks, however I really have a new level of respect for those that do. I took some of my new found skills and applied them to my yarn crochet, and the clone knot fit into this very well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"googlepublisherpluginad\"><\/div>\n<p>The clone knot is essentially a multiple of loops placed on the hook and worked together creating a bump of material in the middle of a set of chains. It creates a unique textural and visual impact to open fabric work, and in Irish crochet is often worked in between motifs during the joining process.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_856\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/XIMG_6861.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-856 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/XIMG_6861-300x200.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/XIMG_6861-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/XIMG_6861-1024x681.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/XIMG_6861-451x300.jpg 451w\" alt=\"XIMG_6861\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bring the hook under the working yarn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>To create this stitch, begin by chaining a couple of chains, then place the hook under the working yarn, rotate the hook 360\u00b0 and place in under the working yarn again.
