Free Macrame Patterns

Free macrame patterns introduction: Macramé or macrame is a form of textile-making using knotting rather than weaving or knitting. Its primary knots are the square knot and forms of hitching (full hitch and double half hitches).

Common materials used include cotton twine, hemp, leather or yarn. Leather or fabric belts are another accessory often created via macrame techniques.

For larger decorative pieces such as wall hangings or window coverings, a work might be started out on a wooden or metal dowel, allowing for a spread of dozens of cords that are easy to manipulate.
