Hey guys, I made a mini macramé wall hanging.
I used a 5” dowel
and this 3mm macramé cord.
I cut 6 cords at 30” each.
Fold a cord in half to find its center.
Place it over the dowel
and bring the ends through the loop created,
creating a lark’s head knot.
Repeat this with another cord.
Take the 1st cord from the left
and bring it over the cord to the right of it.
Use this as your holding cord.
Take the now left cord and a make double half hitch knot
going toward the right.
To do this, make a number 4
with the left cord over the holding cord.
Bring the end through the loop created and do this twice.
Next, take the 1st cord from the right
and bring it over the cord to the left of it.
Use this as your holding cord.
Take the now right cord
and make a double half hitch knot going toward the left.
To do this, make a backwards 4
with the right cord over the holding cord.
Bring the end through the loop created and do this twice.
Add a cord to the 2nd cord from the left.
Fold the cord in half to find its center.
Place it under the cord
and bring the ends through the loop created,
creating a reverse lark’s head knot.
Then, add another cord.
Repeat this with the 2nd cord from the right.
With the 2 middle cords,
make a double half hitch knot going toward the right.
Next, use the 3rd cord from the left as the holding cord
and make a double half hitch knot going toward the left.
Repeat this with the next cord.
Then, use the 3rd cord from the right as the holding cord
and make a double half hitch knot
going toward the right.
Repeat this with the next cord.
Next, use the 2 middle cords as your holding cords.
Make 1 double half hitch knot going toward the left
and 1 double half hitch knot going toward the right.
Use the left cord as the holding cord
and make a double half hitch knot
going toward the right.
Then, use the right cord as the holding cord
and make a double half hitch knot going toward the left.
Make a square knot
with the 3rd and 4th cord from the left.
To do this, bring the right cord over the left
and through the loop created.
Then, bring the left cord over the right
and through the loop created.
Use the 2nd cord from the left as the holding cord
and make a double half hitch knot
going toward the right.
Then, use the 5th cord from the left
and use that as the holding cord.
Make a double half hitch knot going toward the left.
Connect the 3rd and 4th cord from the left
with a double half hitch knot going toward the left.
Then, make a square knot
with the 3rd and 4th cord from the right.
Use the 2nd cord from the right as the holding cord
and make a double half hitch knot going toward the left.
Then, use the 5th cord from the right as the holding cord
and make a double half hitch knot
going toward the right.
Connect the 3rd and 4th cord from the right
with a double half hitch knot going toward the right.
Use the 3rd cord from left as holding cord
and make a double half hitch knot
going toward the right.
Then, use the 3rd cord from right as the holding cord
and make a double half hitch knot going toward the left.
With the 4 middle cords, make a square knot.
Make a number 4 with the left cord
over the 2 middle cords and under the right.
Bring the right cord through the loop created
and pull it tight.
Then, make a backwards 4 with the right cord
over the 2 middle cords and under the left.
Bring the left cord through the loop created
and pull it tight.
Then, continue making double half hitch knots
going toward the center.
With the 2 middle cords,
make double half hitch knot going toward the left.
Next, I cut 2 cords at 20”.
I added 1 cord to the top left hole,
using a reverse lark’s head knot.
But before bringing the ends through the loop created,
I adjusted the top cord to be 3” longer
than the bottom cord.
I placed the top cord under the hole
and pulled it through the loop created.
Then, I placed it over hole
and pulled it through the loop created.
So the pattern should be: knot, end of cord, knot,
knot, end of cord, knot.
Then, I added the other cord to the top right hole,
using the same steps.
I shifted it a little to the back.
Tie a string to hang it and tuck in the ends.
Trim the ends and comb it.
I decided to shorten it
and here’s how it turned out.
