Basic Technique – Macrame Wrap / Gathering Knot

September 10, 2017 by judithjacob Leave a Comment


STEP 1 Fold over the end of the cord you are going to wrap with. Make sure the folded section is approx 5cm longer than the length of the finish wrap.

STEP 2 Bundle together the cords you want to be wrapped. Now get the cord from step 1 placing it on the bundle of cords with the loop facing down and the shorter end at the top sticking out. Note It is important that the shorter end sticks out on the top.

STEP 3 Now take the wrapping cord and start to wrap tightly around making sure you do not wrap around the short end.

STEP 4 Keep wrapping to your desired length. Do not wrap over the loop. You need to wrap a minimum 5 times or your wrap will not hold.

STEP 5 Thread the end of the cord through the loop.

STEP 6 Use one hand to hold the bottom of the wrap and take your other hand to pull the shorter cord at the top. This will pull the loop and create a knot under the wrap. Try and position the knot halfway on the wrap.

STEP 7 Now pull the cord at both ends to secure.

STEP 8 Finish by trimming the ends.

STEP 9 Hide any open ends under the wrap.

For your next pot hanger project try making this stylish Macramé hanger instead of using a metal or wooden ring. Even though its very easy to make I wouldn’t recommend this in your first project with Macramé as you need a good understanding on how the basic square knot works.
