thank you for the tutorial😊😊😊

You're so welcome!

[@justani786]

I was looking for this, and might glad to have stumbled upon your tutorial. Very easy to follow. I do have 2 questions though- 1. Is it easier to do this while its hanging, rather than placed on a board or a table? 2. Why do we alternate the starting point?

[@APrettyFix]

Glad you found this tutorial easy to follow! In answer to your questions: 1. Whether you hang or place on a table or board is entirely a personal preference. I don't think one way is easier than the other. If I were to choose...I prefer making small macrame on a table/board and large pieces that hang. 2. You need to alternate the starting point whenever you begin a new row because it prevents the coaster from twisting in one direction. (If you started each row without alternating, you would eventually see that the knots would begin to twist the coaster, rather than keeping it laying flat). Hope this helps!

Thank you for the great video tutorial. I really appreciate you pausing while giving an explanation to each step. : )

[@APrettyFix]

You're so welcome! So glad this DIY was clear and easy to follow. I appreciate the feedback!

[@mirlyntaropi6364]

Anyone can tell me the length of each cords if I wanna make a table placemat instead of a coaster ..???😀

[@shanikanadeeshani7032]

Your tutorials are amazing. I would like to ask your permission to follow them and make some to earn some money for living?

[@rajeevshree]

Hello, pls inform if you have added 2 rows in front of the black just like u have done for green? Can I follow the same way as u have showed for green to complete the piece? Thank you..pls reply

[@APrettyFix]

Hi Geetha! Yes, I've created 2 rows in front of the black and 2 in front of the green so that there is balance. The pattern is exactly the same and you can follow the same way for black and for green.

[@rajeevshree]

@@APrettyFix thank you sooo much...good day

[@APrettyFix]

@@rajeevshree you're so welcome! Have a good day :)

[@kathleenwarner5325]

I keep running out of the base color yarn. After the row that is 7-8 x the width, how much do i use for the row going the opposite direction? And how much for the rows that go across twice? What is length for the colors? Thank you

[@APrettyFix]

Hi Kathleen, The measurement should be the same for every row you make. (So, for 1 row it is 7-8 x the width, but if you want to create 2 rows then you need 14-16 x the width, etc). But, of course, if you are running out, it may be that you are creating tighter knots when going in one direction (thus, using up less yarn) than you are in the opposite direction (thus, using up more yarn). You may have to experiment just a bit to determine the right amount of yarn. Also, keep in mind that macrame yarn comes in varied forms (some are softer, some are tougher), so that the measurements suggested are just guidelines to get you started.

[@kathleenwarner5325]

@@APrettyFix Thank you! Would you by any chance have a similar pattern you could share for a wall hanging?

[@APrettyFix]

@@kathleenwarner5325 sadly, no I don't, or at least not a tutorial that I can point to. I do have a large walling hanging I made that is essentially an enormous coast (of sorts!) that uses the same design and same knot patterns. Let me know if you'd like a written instruction here and I'll gladly share what I can :)

[@kathleenwarner5325]

@@APrettyFix I would love the instructions thank you so much 🙂

[@manjugoyal6128]

What is the size of these coasters?

[@APrettyFix]

The surface area is approx. 4.5 inches X 5 inches (not including the fringe).
