I did a ladder bracelet and did the square knot and then threaded the separate threads through the 3 beads on each side. Hope I can do it on the flower one, too.

Yes, you can tie a single knot with the 2 strands, but you'll have to position the knot as close to the work as you can. then bring each strand back through a few of the stiches down from the end, then when you get to the desired place anchor your threads by bring them through the beads twice, or if you can, 3 times. Then tie off your final knot, using either double or tirpple knots or a few square knots. Hope this helps.
