    5 Basic Macrame Knots

    LARK'S HEAD KNOT

    To make a Lark's Head Knot, take your rope and fold it in half. Then
    put the loop over and behind the dowel. Now, pull the ends of the rope
    through the loop and tighten.

    COW HITCH KNOT

    The Cow Hitch Knot is done the same way as the Lark's Head Knot,
    except the loop goes over and in front of the dowel. It's basically a
    backwards Lark's Head Knot.

    SQUARE KNOT

    To make a Square Knot, you’ll need four cords. The ones on the left and right will be
    your working cords and the two in the center will be your filler cords.
    Bend the left cord in front of the two middle filler cords and under the right cord.
    Then, bring the right cord behind the filler cords and up through the loop you made in
    with the left cord and tighten. This is called a half knot.

    To complete the square knot, you’ll make another half knot, but this time it’ll be
    reversed.
    Take the right cord and bring it in front of the filler cords and under the left cord.
    Then, bring the left cord behind the center cords and through the loop in the left cord
    and tighten.

    DOUBLE HALF HITCH

    To make a Double Half Hitch Knot, you’ll have a filler cord and a working cord. In the
    example above, I’m working to the right. The technique is the same when going to the
    left, but reversed.
    First, hold the filler cord out straight (in this case, the right cord.)
    Take the left cord and cross it over the right cord. Pull the end of the left cord over and
    through the loop made and pull it tight. Slide the loop to wherever you want the knot
    to be.

    Repeat that process again the same way and tighten the loop.
    You’ve now made one double half hitch knot. To make the next one, you’ll use the
    same filler cord, but use the next cord over as the working cord. Only do one double
    half hitch knot with each working cord.

    WRAPPING KNOT

    To tie a Wrapping Knot, you’ll need a spare piece of cord that’s a foot or so long
    (depending on how many wraps you plant to make and how thick the cord is).
    Make a “U” shape with one end of the piece of cord. Hold the “U” shaped cord against
    the filler cords (all the cords you’ll be wrapping around) with the short and long end of
    the cord facing up, and then bent “U” part facing down.
    Begin wrapping around all of the cords (including the short end) with the long end of
    the wrapping cord. Each wrap will be under the previous wrap and be sure to keep
    them all snug together but not overlapping.
    Once you’ve made 7 to 10 wraps (or however many you want), loop the wrapping
    cord through the loop made by the bottom of the “U”.
    Pull the top cord sticking out of the wraps (short end of the working cord) to tighten
    the loop.
    Keep pulling the top cord until the loop draws up into the wraps about halfway. You
    don’t want it to come up out of the top of the wraps.
    Now you can trim the two ends of the wrapping cord and push the ends down into
    the wraps.
