MACRAME General Instructions

EQUIPMENT: T-pins. Scissors. Tape measure or ruler. Knotting board
(brown paper marked off in one inch squares for gauge. Place over
knotting board of Celotex, cork, or padded cardboard). Rubber bands for
bobbins (wind lengths overhand, secure with rubber band and release as
needed). 1-yarn needle.

KNOTTING: 1. Keep the foundation yarn secure and in place by using
T-pins in the overhand knot at either end. 2. Keep leader taut and
straight on an angle or parallel to the foundation yarn. 3. Tie knots
tightly to cover leader. 4. Secure with pins to keep accurate
measurement. (Use the one inch squares as a gauge.)

Learn all knots on sample piece before beginning, making sure to acquire
the right tension. This will enable you to identify the knots.

Five knots are used in this booklet. They are basically the same
differing mainly in direction. 1. Reversed Double Half Hitch (R D H H)
as shown in figure #1, used for mounting lengths onto foundation yarn.
Fold length in half, tuck looped end over foundation yarn and pull
toward you, tuck loose ends into loop and tighten. 2. Overhand Knot (O H
K) as shown in figure #2. Hold length in left hand, with right hand
bring it up and over towards the left through loop formed, tighten. 3.
Vertical Half Hitch (V H H) as shown in figure #3. Hold one length in
left hand, with right hand bring next length around and between the two
lengths (counts as one knot). Bring left length around right and between
the two lengths. Continue for the number of knots indicated. 4. Diagonal
Double Half Hitch (D D H H) as shown in figure #4. Working from left to
right, the leader (length on which the knots are tied) is held in the
right hand. Each length is knotted onto it in the same manner as the
first knot of the V H H two times. The leader is held taut and on a
downward angle. Working from right to left the leader is held in the
left hand. 5. Horizontal Bar or Horizontal Double Half Hitch (H B or H D
H H) as shown in figure #5. Holding the leader taut and parallel to the
foundation yarn work as D D H H.

Asterisk...*. This indicates that the directions immediately following
are to be repeated the given number of times in addition to the ones
already given. Thus “repeat from * 3 times” means 4 patterns in all.

center. Secure 4 inch center to board and anchor lengths onto it using
RDHH in the following sequence: 4 A (including the longer length of 4
inch section), 2 B, 2 C, 4 D, 2 C, 2 B, 4 A. Cross center 4 D lengths
over one another having 2 lengths to the right and 2 to the left. Work
each length in DDHH leaving lengths used as leaders untied so that the
last knot is 1 inch below foundation (first row shaping only). Repeat
with each color working half in each direction until A lengths remain in
the center. Starting on the left, * with D tie 8 VHH, with C tie 7, with
B tie 3, with A tie 2, with A tie 3 *. Repeat between *’s in reverse.
Using outside D length on right, work HDHH to left across entire piece
and using same length as leader work back to right. With outside D on
the right work to center in DDHH so that last knot is 1 inch below HB.
Repeat with outside D on the left. With these 2 leaders in the center
tie 3 VHH. Work these leaders in opposite directions forming an X with
last knot 1 inch below center of X. With left outside D work a HB across
the entire piece. Using same length as leader work back to the left.
Starting on the left * with D tie 8 VHH, with C tie 7, with B tie 3,

any lengths used as leaders, so that last knot is 2 inches below last HB
worked. Carry all lengths in the same manner until D remains in the
center. Starting at left * with A tie 11 VHH, with A tie 7, with B tie
5, with C tie 4 *. Divide the 4 lengths of D into 2 lengths having 4
strands each, tie 3 VHH. Repeat between *’s in reverse. With left
outside A work a HB across entire piece to the right. Using same length
as leader work back to the left. Starting 2 inches below last bar
worked, with right outside A work a HB across entire piece to the left.
Using same length as leader work back to the right. With outside 2 A
lengths on either side tie 8 VHH. Divide the center D lengths into 4
lengths having 2 strands each. Tie 8 VHH with first 2 lengths of D and 8
VHH with next 2 lengths of D. These will be used to form the lacing
loops. Sew ends of loops into position. With yarn needle or crochet hook
weave in the ends on the back side for at least ½ inch. Trim.

PATTERN:

** Starting with the first A on the left as a leader, work in HDHH to
the right across the entire piece including the last 13 yd. length. With
last length knotted as leader work in HDHH to the left across the entire
piece. Starting at the left, the first 6 lengths of A will be worked to
form an angle <. With the 6th A in from the left as leader work to the
left in DDHH having the last knot 1 inch below the last HB worked. With
the same length as leader work to the right in DDHH so that the last
knot is 2 inches below last HB worked. NOTE: Work all angles to
correspond with this in size. The next color group will be worked to
form a diamond <>. Divide D having 1 strand of yarn to a length. These
will remain this way throughout work. Work left D strand to the left in
DDHH and back to the center forming an angle <. Work right D strand to
the right in DDHH and back to the center forming an angle >. * The next
6 lengths of A will be worked to form an angle >. With the first A as a
leader work in same manner as the first group of A reversing direction.
The next 12 lengths of A will be worked to form an X. With first length
as leader work in DDHH to center, knotting each of the next 5 lengths.
With last of 12 lengths as leader work to the left, to the center,
knotting each of the next 5 lengths. With the 2 leaders knot 3 VHH and
carry leaders in opposite directions forming the X. Divide the next 3
lengths into 2 lengths of 3 strands each. These will remain this way
throughout work. Tie 7 VHH. Work the next 12 lengths to form an X. Work
the next 6 lengths in the same manner as the first group of 6 forming an
angle < *. The center color group (next 20 lengths) will be worked to
form an X. With first C length as leader work in DDHH to the center.
With first C on the right as leader work in DDHH to the center. With the
center 2 C lengths tie 3 VHH and carry leaders in opposite directions in
DDHH forming the X. Repeat between *’s once. Work last color group in
same manner as first. Work last A group in same manner as first
reversing direction to form an angle > **. Repeat between **’s 3 times.
* With the left outside length as leader, work a HB across entire piece
to the right. With last length knotted as leader work a HB across entire
piece to the left. Repeat from * once. Trim lengths 6 inches below last
HB.
