Snowflake Design

Description: The Snowflake Design is made with Square knots that form a circular shape. So it is sometimes referred to as the Circle knot. It's considered a vintage technique, and is rarely seen in modern Macrame patterns. If you would like to see a project that uses this attractive decoration, see the Snowflake Hanger.

| Step 1: To begin practing this unique knot, cut 6 cords, each at least 40 inches long. Fold them in half and pin them to your project board. Mentally number the strands 1 thru 12. |

|
Step 2: Use cords 3 thru 6 to make a Square Knot. Do the same with cords 7 thru 10. These SK should be made with 2 working cords and 2 fillers. |

Step 3: The next two SK should be tied with cords 1 thru 4 as well as 9 thru 12. |

|
Step 4: Move the first and last 3 cords slightly off to the side. Tie one SK using cords 4 and 9 as the working cords, and 5 thru 8 as the fillers. |
