Looking to give your kurti a touch of elegance? French knot embroidery around the neckline is a timeless choice. It’s simple, yet it creates that rich, hand-crafted look that store-bought outfits just can’t match. I remember a client once said, “This tiny detail makes my plain kurti look like a designer piece!” and I couldn’t agree more.
Why French Knots?
In my experience, French knots add texture and charm without overpowering the fabric. They’re especially popular in 2025, as fashion circles highlight “handcrafted detailing” as a top trend. Pinterest searches for “embroidery on kurti necklines” have gone up by nearly 35%, showing how DIY stitching is making a stylish comeback.
Materials You’ll Need
- Embroidery hoop
- Embroidery floss (contrasting or matching shades)
- Needle with a sharp tip
- Fabric marker or chalk for guidelines
Step-by-Step Tutorial
- Prepare the fabric – Fix the kurti neckline in an embroidery hoop to keep it taut.
- Mark your design – Use simple dots, floral outlines, or curved borders as guides.
- Thread the needle – Double the thread for a fuller knot or keep it single for delicate work.
- Make the French knot – Bring the needle up, wrap the thread twice around it, and push it back close to the entry point.
- Repeat the pattern – Fill the design evenly, balancing spacing and colors.
