This clickable list of love knot crochet resources is mainly to aid students of my classes in exploring more about crocheting love knots (a.k.a. Lover’s knots, Solomon’s knots, knot stitch) at their leisure. You’re welcome to enjoy the links below whether you’ve taken the classes or not. They represent the extra information that doesn’t fit into a standard three-hour class. Some are the names of designers, books, love knot variations, etc., that I may have mentioned in a class.

Below I also include a complete list of my downloadable love knot crochet patterns. In my classes, I show a huge amount of published and unpublished crochet designs to illustrate the stitches we learn in class, and what they can look like when they grow up and become crochet patterns!

Please bookmark this page and check back again. I’ll be updating it with more information as it develops.
