Hello everyone welcome Retwisst channel!
Today I will describe how to make macrame heart wall decoration. I will use Retwisst Barbante 250 gr, 2mm thickness and single twist, combable yarn.
This is my colour combination. You can find more colours at the links below.
However, we need to 1x 30cm dowel rod and a scissors.
Let's get started.
This is how I prepared my ropes beforehand.
Cut 3x yarns of 1m length.
Fold it in half and thread your fingers like this.
Turn your thumb and index fingers outward. Pull the yarn in.
Fasten the loop to the dowel rod like this.
it's called the starting knot.
We cut a total of 33x yarns of 1m length.
We separated 3x yarns and tied the starting knot. In this way, we had a total of 11x yarns.
Cut the yarn of 1m length.
Folden it in half.
Pass the part you folded in half behind the yarn.
We will make square knots here. So put the left yarn to right.
Take the right yarn and pass it behind the middle yarns. Then pass it inside the loop of the left yarn.
Finally, pull the yarns. Do the same for the right rope.
Keep making square knots this way. There will be 30x in total.
I made 2 square knots. You can see how many you have made by counting the corner parts.
We have completed the 1st place. Now go to row 2.
For the second, cut a 290 cm long yarn.
Folden it in half. Pass the part you folded in half behind the yarn.
Make a square knot here.
Make a total of 6 square knots here too. We've already done one.
After 6 knots, take the red yarn.
Cut 50 cm of yarn and fold it in half.
Pass the folded part behind the middle yarns and make a square knot where you left off.
Tie the knots without slipping the yarns.
Make 4x square knots with red yarn in total.
The second one is ready. The third and the forth is ready,too.
Leave the red yarns inside like this.
Take the long white yarns at the edges and make a square knot.
Make 20 square knots in total.Cut the remaining short red yarns and continue making a square knot.
We have completed the 2nd row. Go to row 3.
Cut the yarn of 250cm length for the 3rd row.
Folden it in half. Pass the part you folded in half behind the yarn.
Make a square knot.
Make 2x square knots in total and leave the yarns.
We did 6 in the previous one, let's do 4 in this row.
We've made 4x square knots and take the red yarn here.
Cut the red yarn of 1m length.
And make a square knot. There will be 8x square knots here.
After 8x knots, tak the long white yarns.
Leave the red yarns inside and continue making square knots.
The third row is completed.
For the forth row, cut the yarn of 230cm length.
Make 2x square knots and take the red yarn.
Cut the red yarn of 150cm.
Continue making square knots.
The important thing in here is: We made 4 square knots in the 1st, and 6 in the second. Now we will make 8 of them.
I completed the forth row and made half of the 5th row.
I cut the white yarn of 230cm made 2x square knots.
I cut the red yarn of 150cm and made 14x sqare knots in total.
Take the white yarn and we will make 14x square knots in total.
Leave the red yarns and take the long white yarns and continue making square knots.
After the 5th row, go to 6th.
Cut 2m of yarn for the 6th row.
Make 5x square knots. Cut 150cm of the red yarn.
Make 13x square knots in total.
The 6th row is completed.
I made 12x square knots with white yarn at the end of the row.
In the 7th row, we will do the same thing that we did in the 5th row.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Follow the same process from the last row to the beginning as in these rows.
After the all rows were completed, we will make adjustments at the bottom of the project.
You can leave it that way or cut it to the length you want.
I put my 8 fingers in this way and determine the size and cut it from here.
You can also measure and cut this way.
Let me hold the project vertically.
You can comb the remainning yarns or leave in this way.
I will leave it as it is.
We did a little work that you can gift to your friends on special times.
