The Learn Macrame section is a gallery of
knots, containing detailed instructions for
tying a variety of basic as well as unique
knots.
The decorative knots found in most Macrame
patterns are listed below. Just click on the
images of the knots you want to learn. The
step-by-step process, with photos, will come up
in a new window.
Important:
I recommend that beginners practice ALL the Basic
and Vintage
knots on this page, in order to learn Macrame
properly. Don't rush into making any
project until you are familiar with the knots.
Vintage
knotsare those decorative
knots used in the late 1800's to mid 1900's.
Many knots created during this time are often
quite unique, and you may not find them in
modern Macrame books.
Chinese Macrame features a
variety of knots that can be combined in
interesting ways. Some have been around for over
2000 years. Entire families used to create a
variety of elaborate combinations to form new
Chinese knots.
Several basic techniques are listed near the
bottom of the Learn Macrame page. To progress in
skill, practice them several times, until you
can combine them to create your own works of
art.
The CelticKnots
at the bottom of this page are highly artistic,
interwoven designs that are not very well known.
They are perfect for making handcrafted jewelry
and fashion accessories.

vintage knots together in each section.
EVERY PAGE in this section is being improved in
some manner. Contact me
