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.

For smaller projects, push-pin boards
are available specifically for this type of craft, although a simple corkboard
works adequately enough. Many craft stores offer beginners' kits, work boards,
beads and materials ranging in price for the casual hobbyist or ambitious craftsperson.
Macrame reached its zenith in the Victorian era.While the craze waned in later
years, it is now popular again, for making wall hangings, articles of clothing,
bedspreads, small jean shorts, tablecloths, draperies, plant hangers and other
furnishings.
