3 Basic Macrame Knots (square knot, spiral knot, double half hitch + larks head)

[@marel6279]

O remember making the ubiquitous plant holders when I was in fifth grade ( LOL) - my Mom bought me the twine and instruction books for Christmas- but forgot how to do it after years of neglect- nice video.

[@susanpritchard4038]

Colleen, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your expertise!! for a 63 yr old starting macramming you have given me a great start peace

[@ColleenPastoor]

Ah I'm so happy you found it helpful!

[@lisasingleton]

I'm a beginner and I've watched so many videos on how to make a double half hitch and it just wasn't sinking in my head. I was making it WAY TOO complicated. Your video was the perfect tutorial. Thanks so helping me get over the hump!

[@mariammamaxy3829]

Yes tutorial best

[@debi623]

I’m so happy I found your channel ,I love the way you explain and how you show doing the knot slowly for a few times, thank you again

[@ColleenPastoor]

You are so welcome!

[@emilysayre1365]

Thank you for this video!!!!!!! I have watched like 10 videos on how to make these knots and I could not figure it out. This video is perfect and it finally clicked. THANK YOU!!

[@alainej5738]

I wish I’d found this video three hours ago 😂 thank you for your super simple explanation of double hitch

[@ColleenPastoor]

LOL that's always the way it is, isn't it?!

[@LAwoman1956]

Very nice way to teach so we can understand. I am taking a refresher course. Started macrame in the 70s. But when I don't do it I forget it. Thanks!

[@ColleenPastoor]

Thank you so much! When I don’t do it in a while that double half hitch gets me 😅

[@KathyWiskur]

I loved to do macrame back in the 70's and have decided to start again. Your tutorial helped me remember how to do some of the knots. I like your style of teaching. Thanks!

[@ColleenPastoor]

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy getting back into it :)

[@missgoldie6257]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh yes. It's all coming back to me now, from 1970. Thanks for the refresher. You are adorable.

[@LAwoman1956]

Same here but I was doing it in recent years and I still forgot. Colleen is the best.

[@oliviamartin3721]

Thank you so much for helping me understand the double half hitch knot. I watched so many videos trying to understand and I was about to give up. Thank you for showing the knot slowly and adding diagrams because I finally understand!

[@janeeliuk7886]

A great tutorial !! 'THANK-YOU'...😁👍💌

[@tribunggaesan08]

New here... This is easiest tutorial I've watched..question thou the half hitch can that be also used for more than 4 loops ? And instead of 1 strand, will strands each? Thanks

[@dianechristopherson8737]

Diane again. I am a real beginner and need to know about the very basic beginnings. I have seen people working with a "frame" - the macrame hanging from the frame. I've also heard that you can work from sitting at a table. I guess you must stabilize the dowel somehow? Thanks a bunch

[@ColleenPastoor]

I’m not a perfectionist and just tape it to the table or hang it from kitchen cupboard handles :)

[@slricksy]

Thanks! My friend and I just followed your tutorial and both doing knots! We are beginners and now subscribed! Thank you so much! You are the best!:-)

[@maryking6851]

Wow u make it so easy! Thanks

[@ColleenPastoor]

So glad it was helpful!

[@leahmariecuffe6064]

Have you ever tried using a crocheted strand but several all the same length of course?

[@ColleenPastoor]

Not yet!

[@amandamistry5223]

Great video, very clearly explained. Thank you xx

[@ColleenPastoor]

Glad it was helpful!

[@winningnumbers]

Hi, great video! but please show me where you attach the dowel to? please and thank you

[@ColleenPastoor]

Are you asking how I attached the cord to the dowel? That's the larkshead knot.

[@winningnumbers]

@@ColleenPastoor Thank you

[@peggybouillon9737]

I’m just beginning and this was very helpful! Thank you!

[@ColleenPastoor]

I’m so glad! It’s such a fun craft ❤️

[@RubilynPagador]

Love it sissy

[@corunning]

Awesome!

[@ColleenPastoor]

Thank you!

[@_RiveR__]

This is a great video, I'm still struggling with the last know but I am only twelve and I have only just started so I'm trying to remain hopeful 😂

[@ColleenPastoor]

Amazing! Keep practicing, it will just "click" soon!

[@_RiveR__]

@@ColleenPastoor I will, thank you for your amazing video!

[@eileenconnors4240]

Love the tutorial but I have never seen how to finish a row , spiral etc. so that it looks tidy and won’t unravel. Please help. Thanks 🙏

[@ColleenPastoor]

they're all knots so they shouldn't unravel! I tend to end sections with a half hitch :)

[@ashlynmilton9218]

I loveee the color of her wall

[@ColleenPastoor]

Thank you!!

[@JijyVarughese]

That is so helpful.. Thankyou

[@nenamayo9092]

Thank you

[@CKPTraining]

Hey! I know this is an old post but do you know how much rope it would take to do about 2 feet of the first knot?

[@rizuk4835]

In the spiral knot the middle string are eventually long and the side ones shorter. Do we change the string after some knots or I am doing it correct?

[@ColleenPastoor]

You’re correct! It’s a pain, but usually you’ll be knotting it with other pieces that will eventually change your working cord :)

[@lauramorgan308]

What mm rope are you using in this video?

[@ColleenPastoor]

I am using 24 ply cotton twine: amzn.to/2PAKrkY

[@empressdasilva8973]

♥️

[@dianegreenwell7104]

The wall hanging that is on this tutorial where do I find the pattern:

[@ColleenPastoor]

Hi Diane, I don't have a tutorial for it, but I only used knots that I taught in this video!

[@bethhatfield2170]

I hate how my working cords end up so much shorter :( Waist of string.

[@ColleenPastoor]

SO true! Drives me nuts when I'm planning how long to make my cords

[@dianechristopherson8737]
