Description
Join macrame tutor Sandra Ford for a four week beginners macrame course. With Sandra’s guidance, you will learn to master the basic knotting techniques. These knots are the foundation of macrame. Learning these will enable you to go on and confidently plan your own projects in the future. Week 1: Pair of coasters. With the very basic (yet most important knot of all) the square knot, you will make a lovely colourful pair of coasters. Week 2: Small wall hanging. Along with the square knot, you will learn the double half hitch knot (DHH). This is often known as a simple, yet difficult knot. The DHH will be shaped into a diamond pattern to make this unique wall hanging. Week 3: Owl Key-rings With the first two weeks knowledge under your belt, you will progress and learn yet another new knot - the Larks Head Knot (LHK). This will enable you to make these cute owl key-rings. Week 4: Pixel Macrame - Heart Shaped Pixel macrame is a great technique, enabling you to make many different patterns in your work. Pixel macrame is formed by using the vertical double half hitch knot (VDDH). You will learn how to join two different colours to make a heart shape in your work.
