Bowknot Stitch

An ornamental stitch usually worked on a background of stockinette stitch.

The bowknot (or bow knot) stitch is one of my favorite ornamental stitches in knitting. Bowknots are usually worked on a background of stockinette stitch and are easy to make but have a complicated looking structure.

This stitch is also sometimes called a spider stitch or crab stitch.
