I’m working on this sweatshirt for my friend. I didn’t realize the awkward size of the small circles scattered through out until just now. They’re small enough that trying to do a regular backstitch would make them pretty square. I tried to do a satin stitch but since it’s thick and stretchy, it ends up in an extremely unappealing blob. The only thing I’ve come up with is doing a larger French knot for some then little clusters for the rest. But that feels like it would be a lot of knots since there’s already big chunks of them.

Any thoughts? I’m at a loss ????
