Basic Macramé Techniques

Macramé—the tying of knots by hand to form patterns—has a long history. It is even said that the practice was brought from the Middle East to Europe during the Crusades. While it originated out of necessity, in more recent times it has become a more decorative art, and is now a popular craft genre.

Macramé is easy to pick up and it’s perfect for people wanting to incorporate handmade items into their interior styling. Most of the projects in this book use natural, undyed cord, which works easily with all kinds of interiors, from country style to bohemian.

The careful instructions in this book allow even beginners to complete the projects, so why not have a go at making interior objects from macramé?
