New Macrame Ideas, DIY Macrame – Colour Block Pattern

Materials:

– 5mm Recycled String (Colours: Sage, Mustard, Bisque, Rose Tea)

Let’s get started.

Cut 2 pieces of 5mm string, in four different colours, each piece is 6ft in length. I’m using sage, mustard, bisque and rose tea. Attach them to your dowel using Lark’s Head Knots as I’ve done here. To create the pattern we will use the double half hitch knot. If you are unfamiliar with this knot please see the description for a more in-depth tutorial.
Use the inner left cord as your filler cord and tie 4 dhhks working down and to the right. Use the remaining mustard cords as your filler cord and tie 3 more rows of 4 dhhks. Tie the knots a little further down the mustard cord with each row to create a diamond shape.

Use the bisque cords as your filler cords and the sage cords as your working cords and tie 4 rows of 4 dhhks working down and to the left.

Use the rose tea cords as your filler cord and the mustard cords as your working cords and tie 4 rows of 4 dhhks working down and to the left.

Use the sage cords as your filler cord and the rose tea cords as your working cords and tie 4 rows of 4 dhhks working down and to the right.

Synthetics are often combined with natural fibres to give them extra strength and durability.
You can find all kinds of cords to use in macrame projects. One of the most important things to remember when starting out is to buy enough cord.

Many beginners have trouble making neat, even knots. To solve this problem, keep tension and balance your knots. As you practice, you will become more experienced and more able to judge how much you need.
You can dye macrame to match your color scheme. To do this, you need to soak macrame cord in fabric dye and let it soak in the solution for 20 to 40 minutes.

The dye will take a while, so set aside some time for drying.
In addition to using rope, you can also use wooden handles to hang macrame projects. In addition to wood, you can also use jute, hemp, or jute to add a rustic look.

You can also hang macrame on a wall. This method requires patience and the skill to tie half hitch knots. Its textured edges make it a great choice for a casual look and can be machine-washed at 86 degrees. However, it should not be washed in a washing machine or used as a curtain. Moreover, you can hang your finished macrame project in a dry place.
