Lazy Daisy / Detached Chainstitch
Come up from the back and back down in the same hole or right next to point 1, forming a loop on the front side.

French Knot

Hold thread taut with other hand and wrap the thread twice around end of the needle.
Gently pull the thread so that the wrapped threads tighten and while holding it taut, insert the needle next to spot 1 (do not put the needle into the same location) . Pull thread through onto the back until the knot is formed and lies securely on the surface
Long Backstitch
Starting the stitch, come up from the back of the fabric. Finish the stitch by making 1 long stitch though the front of the fabric.
