This is a knot I learned in a hand sewing class when I was a child. It's my old faithful knot and very easy to do!!!What You'll Need:
Needle
Thread
Step 1: Thread needle and match up both thread ends. This is called a double threaded needle and I prefer it for it's strength and durability. 
Step 2: Wrap thread around finger and cross like pictured below. Keep tension on the thread and hold taunt with thumb.
Step 3: Place your thumb on the center of the "X" you made with the thread.
Step 4: Roll the thread up between your finger and thumb.
It should look like this pictured below:
Step 5: Pinch the thread above your loose knot (I'm holding the loose knot with my middle finger so that it will not un-twist) and pull down. This will tighten the loose knot.
Pull down until the knot gets small like pictured below.
Voila!
