Double Buttonhole Stitch

 
Double Buttonhole Stitch
 

Description: The Double Buttonhole Stitch is a variation of the Vertical Larks Head Knot. It forms two separate chains that can be used to make a clasp. In the early days of Macrame, the Larks Head was called the Buttonhole Knot. It was named that because this decorative knot was used in patterns that call for buttons, such as vests. This Vintage Macrame knot can be used as a clasp for necklaces, bracelets, and handbags, as well as for clothing.

Step 1: Mount two cords with Larks Heads to a ring or another cord before you begin practicing. The outside strands are the working cords, the inside ones the fillers. If you prefer, you can simply tape the ends to your work surface.

 
  Larks Head Knot   Step 2: Tie a series of Vertical Larks Head knots over the filler cord on the right, using the right working cord. The strand goes over, under, and through the loop on the first pass. In the second part of the knot, the strand goes under, then over and through. Make 5 knots.  
 
  Second Section   Step 3: Now use the left working cord, and make the same type of knots around the left filler cord. Make 5 knots as well.  
 
  Square Knot   Step 4: To make the buttonhole, tie a Square Knot just above and below the design you just made. You’ll have an opening between the right and left chains, suitable for a button to go through.
