Stitch steps: Turkey stitch & tufted knot

Sometimes called Turkey work, this is a versatile stitch that can be used in many different ways. The distinctive thing about it are the freestanding loops or cut strands that can be used to depict realistic grass, flower stamens, hair, manes and more. Tufted knots are used in quilting as well as embroidery.
