Description

Get started knotting with macramé. We'll learn some basic knots and then use them to create intricate designs. In the end, you'll have a beautiful wall hanging for your home.

Materials needed

  • 200 yards of 3-ply cotton rope, 4 mm diameter, in Natural (this is what I used—you can pick your colors and sizes based on your preferences)
  • 75 yards of 3-ply cotton rope, 3 mm in diameter, in Terracotta (this is what I used—you can pick your colors and sizes based on your preferences)

Equipment needed

  • dowel—I used a 36" long dowel with a 3/4" diameter
  • masking tape
  • scissors
  • measuring tape
  • hanging mechanism—like a clothes rack, over-the-door towel rack, or anything else that will suspend the dowel away from a wall. It is helpful to be able to work from either side of the piece.
  • Shop recommended books
