Materials Needed

• Cotton Cord: 20 pieces, each 3 meters long
• Wooden Dowel: For hanging your macramé piece
• Scissors: For trimming the fringe
• Measuring Tape: To ensure accurate cord lengths

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cut the Cotton Cord: Begin by cutting 20 pieces of cotton cord, each measuring 3 meters long. Use your measuring tape to ensure accuracy.
2. Attach the Cords to the Dowel: Fold each piece of cord in half. Take the folded end and place it over the wooden dowel. Pull the loose ends of the cord through the loop created by the fold. This forms a lark's head knot. Repeat this process for all 20 pieces of cord, spacing them evenly along the dowel.
3. Create a Row of Square Knots: To form the first row, take the first four cords (two on the left and two on the right) and tie them into a square knot. To do this, take the left cord and place it over the center cords, then take the right cord and place it over the left cord. Bring the right cord behind the center cords and through the loop created by the left cord. Pull tight. Repeat this process for the next set of four cords until you have a row of square knots across the top.
4. Continue with Alternating Square Knots: For the next section, continue to tie square knots, alternating the sets of cords you use. This will create a textured look. Make sure to pull each knot tight for a uniform appearance.
5. Transition to Diagonal Clove Hitch Knots: After completing the square knots, begin to form a diamond pattern using diagonal clove hitch knots. Take two adjacent cords and tie a clove hitch knot by wrapping one cord over the other and then behind. Pull tight. Repeat this for the next set of cords, ensuring that the knots are aligned to create a diamond shape.
6. Finish with a Row of Square Knots: Once the diamond pattern is complete, finish your piece with another row of square knots at the bottom. This will help to secure the design and add a polished look.
7. Trim the Ends for Fringe: After completing the knots, use scissors to trim the ends of the cords to create a fringe. Make sure to keep the lengths even for a clean finish.
8. Hang Your Macramé Wall Hanging: Finally, take a length of cord and tie it to each end of the wooden dowel. This will allow you to hang your beautiful macramé wall hanging on the wall. Choose a spot that showcases your handiwork!
