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. |
