Macrame for Beginners: Knots to Your First Projects

Four knots. Three projects. One weekend. Most macrame books open by showing you what you could make one day. This one starts by teaching you to tie a single knot correctly, then keeps going until three finished pieces are hanging in your home. Every project here is built from the same four knots. Each one is broken down into numbered steps, one physical movement at a time, with a photograph of the finished knot so you can hold your own work up against it and see straight away whether you have it right. What is inside - The four core knots: square knot, half hitch, lark's head and spiral, each with full over-and-under detail- Three complete projects: a hanging planter, a chevron wall hanging and a coiled coaster- Worked cord-length calculations for every project, so you never run out halfway through- How to read a pattern chart, including the shorthand other books assume you already know- A troubleshooting chapter arranged by symptom: find what went wrong, find the fix- Finishing techniques that make a piece look made rather than attempted, from wrapped tassels to even fringe Who it is for > Start with the first knot in Chapter 3. You could have something finished by the end of the day.
