Venetian Picot Mount

| Description:
The Venetian Picot Mount is a Vintage technique that was very
popular in the early days of Macrame. It uses two decorative
knots in combination; the Overhand
Knot and the Double
Half Hitch.
Step 1: Obtain a long holding cord and
secure it horizontally to your work surface. You could also
use a ring or dowel if you wish. Cut a second strand to
make the knots.

Step 2:
Tie an Overhand Knot in the center of one working cord.
Tighten it loosely, since you want it to show itself.
Tip: If you wish, you could make two or
more Overhand knots to form the picot. |

|
Secure the loop with tape or pins
so it rests just above the horizontal strand. The ends need
to lie underneath the holding cord, in a vertical direction. |
|
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 3: Use Double
Half Hitches to attach both ends to the holding cord.
If you have more cords, mount them the same way next to one
another.
