Description: The Bush Bar is a very easy Macrame technique to learn. It's a great decorative knot that you can use to make bracelets and chokers. A BAR is a sennit, or chain of knots, that has a flat rectangular shape. So this design can also be used to make belts, straps for purses, and anywhere you need a sturdy band of knots.
In the Micro-Macrame section of this site, you will find a bracelet design using this interesting knotting technique. |

I found this knot in the website called Fusion Knots.There is a great knot library that contains tutorials for a variety of very unique and appealing designs.
The author, JD Lenzen, recently came out with this great book, so be sure to visit his website by clicking on the link or image. |

Step 1: Start by folding a 2-yard piece of cord material in half, and position the center of it towards the bottom of your board.
Step 2: Move up 8 inches. Cross the right segment over the left, creating a large loop.
The size of this loop should be the size you need for a bracelet, key chain, etc. |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 2: Secure the cord at the center fold, and at the crossing point. Make sure the loop is taut.
Direct the LEFT end around to the right, over the large loop, ending on the left. It should be arranged horizontally. |

Step 3: Take the RIGHT end and direct it over the right end. Pass it under the left half of the large loop. Pass it over the right end in the center, and under the right half of the large loop. Pass over the portion of the left end that sits at the far right. |
|
|
| |
| |
| Another way to look at this important step is to pass over every part of the left end. Pass it under both parts of the large loop. |
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 4: Tighten the first knot by pulling on the ends. To continue, simply repeat steps 2 and 3 until the Bush Bar is the size you need. |

| Design Tip: In the image at the top of the page, the band at the top is tightened more than the one on the bottom. It's best to leave a little space so the design shows up better. You can also arrange the knots close together, but the cord will need to be longer. |
