Overhand Knot

 
Single Overhand Knot
 

Description: The Overhand knot is the same one used to tie your shoe. It’s the easiest Macrame technique, and found in most patterns. In Vintage Macrame books it is sometimes referred to as a “hard knot”. This technique is used primarily in the finishing process. When tied at the end of a cord, it will prevent unraveling if glue is applied. You can use it anywhere in a pattern though.

To make a single knot, hold a cord in both hands. Make a loop, bringing the cord up and over. Pass the end through the loop. Pull the ends to tighten it.

 
Overhand Knot Chain
 
To make a Chain, simply repeat step 1 over and over. Make sure each knot is adjacent to the next one.
