Venetian Picot Mount

 
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.

 
  Overhand Knot  

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.

 
 
  Ends Resting Under Holding Cord   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.  
 
  Mounting with Double Half Hitches   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.
