Solomon's Knot Crochet Stitch

A crochet stitch, also called the love knot or lovers' knot, built from an elongated chain loop drawn through and secured with a single crochet, producing an open, lacy, net-like fabric of large loose loops rather than the tighter stitches of ordinary crochet. Nineteenth century English-language sources most often called it Knot Stitch or Hail Stone Stitch; the names Solomon's Knot and Lover's Knot became dominant by the mid-twentieth century. It has also served as a substitute for true netting, on its own or as a backing, in Irish crochet lace.
