This a photo of the finished trim on the garment. The shine of the 2mm thick leather cord is a nice contrast to the matte of the fur, and works well texturally with the leather.

4. Sew the first row of knots through the intersection of every fourth diagonal.

5. Pass the needle right to left under the cord on the top row of foundation stitching and back left to right through the bottom row of foundation stitching to form a loop.



6. Next, pass the needle over the foundation stitching and through the loop.



7. Pull the cord to close the loop and form the knot.



This is what the first row looks like.
