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.

8. For the next row of knots, channel the needle under three of the top foundation row as shown, emerge one cord before the knot below. Then change needle direction and pass it through the adjoining diagonal foundation stitch below as shown.

9. Change needle direction again and pass it under the loop formed in the last step, and immediately under the next three upper row diagonal cordss. Pull up the slack.

10. Repeat the last two steps all along the length of the work. This photo is step one of this process.

11. This photo is step two of the process.
