This is the second video in my Macrame Shapes series. Today I will teach you how to create a macrame circle. On Friday I will show you how to create a circle by attaching a ring to your wall hanging. Let’s get started!
This pattern creates a circle that is 2 inches in diameter but you can use this method to create a circle of any size.
Cut an extra cord that is approximately 25 inches long to use as your filler cord. Attach it to the left side of your wall hanging using a double half hitch knot.
We will now create the top half of the circle - to do so tie double half hitch knots in a semi-circle from left to right.
We will now create the bottom half of the circle. Moving from the right to left, tie your double half hitch knots in a semi-circle.
To finish it off you can either leave the two ends of the filler cord hanging from the side or tuck them into the circle. I’ll show you how to tuck them in.
Use a tapestry needle and thread the end of the bottom cord through the front of the double half hitch knot at the top. I find it easiest to thread it all the way through the first half hitch, then the second half hitch. I’ve gone through the first half hitch now I’ll go through the second half hitch.
Repeat that process threading the top cord through the front of the double half hitch knot at the bottom. Thread it through the first half hitch knot then the second half hitch knot. Cut off the ends and you’re all set!
Thanks so much for watching!

You make it look so easy! But, I know it wouldn't be for me! Lol. I'm still trying to master double half hitch knots. But! If I think I'm good enough, & I want to do a design like this, I know where to go! As always, your imagination is so vast. You always have something new for me to learn! Thanks so much!!!

Thank you for another beautiful design.

You're always finding ways to do things, and you've actually helped me before (about a year ago with the paw pattern).. All that being said, can you think of a way to be able to do this, but have the circle a different colour than the hanging cords? .. For example, I would like my hanging cords to be navy, and my circles to be red... any suggestions? Congratulations on the pregnancy/baby. It's been a while since I've looked, but last I saw you were just announcing. 💕

Thank you!! It is not possible to create this exact pattern but you could create a circle using vertical double half hitch knots in a different colour than the rest of the cords!

@@LotsofKnotsCanada I wish I could wrap my head around what you're trying to explain.. maybe a future tutorial idea for you 😉

This is so cool (but requires some precision to get a neat circle). Thank you!

[@LotsofKnotsCanada]

Helena Vasco thank you! Yes it does but I find if the circle isn’t exactly round you can adjust the knots slightly afterwards!

Hi, I want to learn Macrame do you tell me from where to begin, please.I am totally lost.

[@kiajennings4962]

Just a quick question! How much cord would i need if i was going to do 7 consecutive circles?

[@1Sweetness]

Build a little tree inside of the circle?

Would have been nice if you went alittle slower and showed your movements. Other than that it was beautiful. Not for beginners.
