    The document provides instructions for several basic macrame knots including the Lark's Head knot, Square knot, Half Hitch knot, Double Half Hitch knot, Diagonal Half Hitch knot, and Spiral knot. The Lark's Head knot is used to attach cord to a ring or dowel at the beginning of a project. The Square knot involves completing half knots on each side to join two cords. Variations like the Half Hitch, Double Half Hitch, and Diagonal Half Hitch use looping techniques to create patterns. The Spiral knot makes use of repeating half knots or half-square knots to create a coiling pattern.

    The key takeaways are the basic macrame knots - lark's head knot, square knot, half hitch knot, and double half hitch knot. Instructions are provided on how to tie each knot.

    To tie a lark's head knot, start by folding the cord in half and placing the loop under the ring or dowel. Then fish the ends of the cord through the loop and pull tight.

    To tie a square knot, start with two lark's head knots. Take the outer left cord and cross it over the two middle cords. Then take the outer right cord, place it under the middle cords and loop it through the hole on the left side before pulling tight.

    Lark’s Head Knot

    The Lark’s Head Knot is one of the most basic knots in Macrame.The Lark’s head knot is used to attach
    your cording to your ring, dowel or handle when starting a macrame project.

    1.Start by folding your piece of macrame cord in half.

    2.See that little loop? Place that loop under your ring or dowel.

    3.Now fish the ends of the cording through that loop.

    4.Pull tight and you have your lark’s head knot!

    5. the way – check out this really

    Square Knot

    There are essentially two parts to the square knot.

    You have to complete one side (also called a half square knot) and then the other side (also called a right
    half square knot) to make the full square knot.

    Start with two Lark’s head Knots.

    There should be a total of 4 macrame cords there.

    We are going to take the outer left cord and cross it over the two middle cords.

    Now take the outer right cord and place it on top of the left cord and UNDER the two middle cords.

    Loop it through the hole on the left side.

    Now pull tight without letting your cords twist.

    You now have ONE side of your square knot done. You have now completed a half square knot.
    alternating square knot.

    This is more of a wider pattern

    To make the alternating square knotstart with 4 Lark’s head knots (there will be 8 total cords).

    Make a square knot with four left side cords.

    Make a square knot with the four right side cords.

    Make a square knot with the four middle cords. (Push away the outer two cords on the left and right
    side to make it easier.)

    Continue working this pattern, left, right, middle, left, right, middle.

    Make sure to pull your cords tight without any twisting.

    Half Hitch

    To me, a half hitch is simply your basic knot.

    Start with a Lark’s head knot.

    Take one cord and make a number 4.

    Loop that cord through the “4” hole and pull tight.

    You made a half hitch knot!

    Double Half Hitch

    A double half hitch knot is just a half hitch knot repeated a second time.

    Start with a Lark’s head knot.

    Take one cord and make a number 4.

    Loop that cord through the “4” hole and pull tight.

    Make another number 4 using the same cord you used before.

    Loop it through the hole of the “4” and pull tight.

    Here’s how to make it:


    Start with 3 or more Lark’s head knots. For this example – we are using 3 Lark’s Head knots. There is a
    total of 6 cords.

    Take the outer left cord and place it diagonally across all the other 5 cords. This cord is your filler cord.
    The direction and placement of this outer left cord will determine the pattern. So just make sure it’s
    placed the way you want over your cords.

    Working left to right, make a double half hitch knot with the second cord.

    Pull your cord tight. Ensure your outer left cord is still placed diagonally over the cords.

    Now make a double half hitch knot with the third cord.

    Now make a double half hitch knot with the fourth cord.

    And keep going until you reach the last cord on the right side. You will see your diagonal pattern of
    knots.

    Now, you are going to repeat steps 2-7 but this time working right to left. So place the outer right cord
    diagonally over the other cords.

    You can also make a horizontal line of double half hitch knots (just go horizontal instead of diagonal with
    that first cord).

    There are variations to the half hitch knots, (like triple half hitch knots), but even with these basic half
    hitch knots, you can make great patterns.
    How To Tie A Spiral Knot

    Spiral knot is one of the prettiest knots. one of the easiest knot.

    It’s just a repeat pattern of half-square knots (first half of a square knot) or half hitch knots.

    Instead of switching to the right side to complete the square knot, you just keep working that left side.
    The macrame will naturally spiral. Just go with it.

    To make a thicker version of the spiral knot, start with 2 Lark’s Head knots.

    To make a single version – start with 1 Lark’s Head knot and make a repeat pattern of half hitch knots.
