 Free Macrame Patterns




Chinese Flower





The OVERALL GOAL for Free Macrame Patterns is to help you learn the basic and vintage decorative knots commonly used in Macrame.   More advanced knots can be learned by those with experience. 

Unlike many websites, we strongly encourage you to take a step-by-step approach, learning a few knots, then trying to create something with them.  Over time, your skills WILL increase.


Creating Tips: 


1. Be prepared to spend HOURS creating items once you learn the basics. Even small projects can take a long time.  That is one reason why people give up on Macrame - it's time consuming.  I recommend you work for an hour, then take a break for several hours.  Repeat this as often as needed for your project.
 
2. While you rest, get something to eat and drink!

3. Try to make small, easy projects when you are first learning.  Remember, you are using muscles and doing unfamiliar work, and will tire easily.  

4. Pay attention to what your HANDS tell you:  If they hurt, you are doing too much and need to rest!


Anyone can use the information in this website.  There is no enrollment necessary, no fees, and no active classes. 
 

You learn on your own, but you can receive guidance and support through our Facebook page, which is also called "Free Macrame Patterns".

 

BE SURE TO READ AND ABIDE BY OUR "TERMS OF USE" IF YOU DECIDE TO PRINT ANY OF THE MATERIAL ON THIS WEBSITE.




Here are some NAVIGATION recommendations for everyone using this website:  

Beginners should spend most of their time on steps 1 - 3:


1. Make sure you spend some time exploring the different sections.  Beginners should start with the Dictionary. 

2. Important information is found in Macrame Essentials.  Be sure to read all the pages, since many of the topics are applicable to ANY project you make.

3. The knots are described in detail in Learn Macrame


4. Projects are in the other three sections.  Macrame Patterns has classic and vintage designs, Macrame for Kids contains easy projects, and Micro-Macrame are projects for jewelry designs.   

5.  Advanced Macrame is now a list of current videos found on our Facebook page.  These can be viewed by anyone.  The NAME of each knot is a link that will take you to the written instructions here on this website.  

Other Navigation Tips:

 
6. When you click on the navigation buttons on the left, you will be sent to pages that are lists of patterns and designs. 

7. Click on the small images (or links) for the patterns you want to view, and the detailed written instructions will come up.

8. On those specific pages, clicking on the small images usually bring up larger ones, or send you to other pages.


The banner on the left (Acajou Crafts) will take you to our Etsy Shop, which currently has Macrame books, beads, rings and other supplies.  Unfortunately, we can only ship to those in the USA. 

Our prices have recently been dropped to reduce our stock, so be sure to check out the store if you need supplies. 

Eventually the shop will close and we will use Facebook Marketplace instead. 

 


GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT



Many people have experienced a lack of support when visiting other websites related to Macrame.   The number of followers has been blamed for this lack.  I do not agree that is the cause, since traffic does not affect this website at all. 

On this site, you WILL receive a response to your email, and will receive support.  I am fully dedicated to helping people learn this craft and that will not change until I walk the spirit world.  I may not have the answer to every question, but will always give it my best effort. 

It makes no difference how many followers I have, or how many emails I receive.  Every one is answered, even if it takes a few days.

MORE ADVICE



AFTER YOU LEARN THE BASIC KNOTS

1. Each tutorial on this website has a list of knots you use to create the item, just below the supply list.  Make sure you know how to tie each one before making ANY project.

2. Choose an EASY project from one of the other sections when you feel you are ready.

Once you are successful and have made the project to the best of your ability, show it on the Facebook page.

YOU WILL RECEIVE FEEDBACK. 

If for some reason Annette does not respond, please contact her!


3. Continue to learn more and more knots, followed by projects.  A list of suggested knots is available in the Learn Macrame section.

4. Try making complex knots periodically to give yourself a challenge.  Some of them are like projects, they take time and skill to create.  Especially the Chinese and Asian knots.  

5.  Fusion Knots are combination knots that are similar to others in the same section.  I encourage you to make and use them as well.  Most make great bracelets and similar items like belts and straps.  Many are easy enough for beginners.  So as you learn them, you can be making something at the same time!
