Macrame FAQs

What are some common macrame knots?

The most common knots in macrame are what's known as the reverse lark's head and the half knot, and once you've practised these to perfection, you're ready to get into it.

For a reverse lark's head, you need to start by dividing your cord into two halves and placing them upon one another to ensure they're completely even. Once this is done, place the loop of the cord underneath the anchor. Then, take the ends of the cord and pull them through the loop. Pull the ends nice and tight to get your first reverse lark's head knot.

For the half knot, start with a reverse lark's head and then take the right cord and fold it loosely over the left. Take the end of the left cord and pull it through the created loop. Tighten to get your half knot.
