Why macramé
Quick wins, minimal kit
No loom needed
Just cord, a dowel or ring, and your hands. No specialist equipment required.
Low cost
A 100m spool of 3mm cotton cord costs £8–£15. That's enough for a wall hanging and several plant hangers.
Fast results
A small plant hanger takes 1–2 hours. A wall hanging 4–8 hours. Visible progress from session one.
Learn the basics
The five knots every macramé beginner needs
Lark's head knot
Used to mount cords onto a dowel or ring. The starting point for almost every macramé project.
Square knot
The most important macramé knot. Two half hitches tied in alternating directions — creates the flat, woven texture typical of macramé.
Half square knot (spiral)
Like a square knot but always in the same direction — creates a spiral twist. Used for plant hangers and decorative columns.
Half hitch
A simple diagonal or horizontal knot used for patterns and transitions between sections.
Gathering knot
Wraps multiple cords together to create a bundle. Used to start and finish plant hangers.
