Macrame for Beginners: Knots to Your First Projects

By: Lorke, Richard Leonard

Four knots. Three projects. One weekend.

Most macrame books open by showing you what you could make one day. This one starts by teaching you to tie a single knot correctly, then keeps going until three finished pieces are hanging in your home.

Every project here is built from the same four knots. Each one is broken down into numbered steps, one physical movement at a time, with a photograph of the finished knot so you can hold your own work up against it and see straight away whether you have it right.

What is insideThe four core knots: square knot, half hitch, lark's head and spiral, each with full over-and-under detailThree complete projects: a hanging planter, a chevron wall hanging and a coiled coasterWorked cord-length calculations for every project, so you never run out halfway throughHow to read a pattern chart, including the shorthand other books assume you already knowA troubleshooting chapter arranged by symptom: find what went wrong, find the fixFinishing techniques that make a piece look made rather than attempted, from wrapped tassels to even fringeWho it is for
Absolute beginners. No prior experience is assumed and no specialist equipment is needed: a ring, a comb, a pair of scissors and some cotton cord will do. Every technique is shown, never just named.

Start with the first knot in Chapter 3. You could have something finished by the end of the day.
