Six knots. That’s all macramé is. This book teaches you all six — then shows you how to turn them into wall hangings, plant hangers, jewelry, and home decor that sell for $40 to $400.
Inside you’ll learn every knot with exact hand positions, how to read macramé patterns, how to choose cord (type, size, and how much to buy), and how to set up a workspace that doesn’t take over your apartment. Then you’ll work through projects from a simple wall hanging (your first afternoon) to a statement art piece that covers half a wall.
What’s covered: the six essential knots (lark’s head, square knot, half hitch, spiral, gathering, berry), cord types and sizes compared, reading and following patterns, wall hangings from beginner to advanced, three plant hanger designs, macramé jewelry (bracelets, necklaces, earrings), home decor projects (table runner, shelf, basket), dyeing cord and working with color, selling your work, and a full troubleshooting reference.
Written by a self-taught fiber artist who started macramé during lockdown, now sells at markets in Austin, TX, and teaches workshops. If you can tie a shoelace, you can do this. Seriously.
