I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your easy to follow step by step instructions! This video is a must watch for all the TRUE macrame beginners. Thank you! Fabulous instructor !
Wonderful instruction! I've been watching macreme videos with nothing but frustration. Until your video popped up. Thank you very much, you are appreciated.
Seeing the square knot, I realized that's the knot that everyone uses to make paracord bracelets... And you finally explained and showed it in a way that my brain can follow.
I too have a brain reversing everything, Left and right, up or down I have to exercise 1 million times:) for the most simple things. The good thing is once I got it the technique stays:)
I'm pretty sure that's actually a really bad way to wrap parachord, in terms of actual use, aside from looks. You have to knot paracord in a way that is able to be undone in a single pull, not sure if you can do that with the square knot.
99% of people use paracord bracelets for decorative purposes only, so this is actually a great way to make them, paracord is most often just a material among others. Besides, the first two weaves aren't that hard to take apart at all.
@@vulcanswork I am exactly the same. What looks like behind, to me looks like in front, up, down, left, right, top, bottom. Ugg so frustrating. This great, but different color cords would help even more.
Andy Newcom, you rock!! You took the time to go slowly so it would make sense, which it has. Since you're such an amazing person and teacher, how about more complex knots in the future? ~ heather :)
I am so glad I found your tutorial for the foundation of the macrame knots. It is very clear and the way that you teach which is awesome . Thank you for sharing.
I ' ve never seen such tutorial of Macrame for beginners like your video , I would say you are the best one that I found . I really appreciate what you share to us , thank you !
Thank you Andy! You took the time to go slowly for us beginners and explained it in a way that sinks in to our brain. You are now my go to video guy! Thank you so much!
Great tutorial, Andy. My wife and I were big into macrame back in the mid 70's and got to the point where we created some pretty complex and large pieces. Glad to see it's slowly but surely making a comeback.
Thank you so much for this clear and simple video on the basic knots of macrame! Very educational. Nice close ups of how to do the knots. Instructor's voice is pleasant to listen to and doesn't sound like he's bored with what he's doing. It was honestly a great video that was so clear and precise that I honestly don't think I'll have to watch it again to remember how to do the knots. Great Job!
I used to do macrame in high school and can remember hooking my cord to a kitchen cabinet knob and having a plant hanger in an hour, knowing the knots. Knowledge forgotten I knew TH-cam wouldn't let me down. But your using rope to show us a large version was GENIUS! Thank you so much. I'm really hoping you have demos of more knots thank you SO much. Subscribed!
I have been trying to do this but no one explained it so easily and I am so thankful. I already made a few things just by watching Andy. Im so excited.
Finally understand what was going wrong with my hitch knots when I started going the other direction! Thank you so much for explaining this clearly and effectively!! You’re a great teacher would love to see more complicated knots from you!!
You are an excellent teacher! Additionally, how you have your cords set up for demonstration was the best I have ever seen. I use to macrame in the 70's, but now I would like to get back into it. All my books on it are gone, so I started watching TH-cam and your demonstration was the best so far. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your awesome helpful video and describing the square knot as a "4"! I couldn't see how people were doing the "right hand square knot" in other videos. Your description of the "4" made all the difference :) I'm making my first macrame since the last one I made as a kid in the 70s when they were so popular :) You're so sweet & pleasant Andy! Thank you!
Wow!! I have been struggling to get these knots perfected! The other tutorials were so weak in explaining the techniques and they would do it fast! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This video has helped me get it right!!!
Excellent job, thank you! You're a natural teacher. I was so confused watching other videos on the half hitch knot. Some of those people talked for 3.5 minutes before they tied the first knot. I wanted to run far away! They may know how, but have no idea how to teach it! I was left glassy eyed! Thanks for making it uncomplicated and understandable. ~Jaclen
What a fantastic video! I had to find a quick five minute project to demonstrate teaching something outside of our music field and it worked so well and was very fun! Thank you for the great video!
That is by far the best video I have seen explaining the macrame knots ☺ the cords were large and easy to follow, the explanation was steady and very well explained. Thank you! I am sure I can tackle it now. Please post other lessons, you're a great teacher.
Thank you so very much, I bet I've watched a couple dozen tutorials over the past three days. As I am desperately attempting to make a macrame plant hanger. Yet , regardless of the video, I simply could not see, nor understand exactly what or which cord to use at the end of the "4". I don't know if it was the agagerated cord size, or your method of explanation, but " by george I think I've got it". Seriously though, Thank you very much, I'm off to create, what I hope to be a beautiful plant hanger........ so excited :-) You're the best, very grateful, Barb
Thank you, thank you! This is the first tutorial that actually helped me learn the basics!! Your instructions were very easy to follow. Again...thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. It is very clear and easy to understand. The thick cord strands are great, they allow us to see everything magnified. Thank you. :)
This was so helpful, I knew the first two but the half-hitch I was confused on until watching this. Thanks for making it sooo simple and east to understand!
OMG, my teenage years are back. I would spend hours making bracelets and ankle bracelets. So much fun, Passed the time and in my opinion, great for concentration issues. Thank you for this basic video. I have tons of colored string from my x-stitch kits. Will be making ankle bracelets for the summer.
Love that you use Large cord! Even someone like me learned the basics just from watching your video, I turn off sound and just watch your movements. Dont know why someone didn't think of this before. Thank you
this video is very good for beginners and for someone like myself starting macrame again after 35 years. I like the size of the material used so that you could distinguish between the different loops.
I was making macrame plant hangers in the early seventies! I loved it and totally forgot how to do it! Thank you for showing me how again!! I can’t wait to buy supplies and try it! Such a great video. 👍👍
Thank you for showing us using the large dowel and rope. THANK YOU! I have already made several plant holders. My goal is to make something with a beautiful design to it.

Love that you use Large cord! Even someone like me learned the basics just from watching your video, I turn off sound and just watch your movements. Dont know why someone didn't think of this before. Thank you
I loved the fact you used thick ropes so the turns and twists were clearly seen as you made the knots. Thank you.
Wow. Having them this big and going super slow actually made this the best video ive seen for beginners.
I might get back into macrame again, if my granddaughter wants to learn, also. Very informative teaching video... thank you!
Excellent!! Simple and straightforward instruction. Thank you!
Andy, thank you. You’re such a lovely person. Perfect tutorial. Namaste x
An excellent tutorial on how to tie these (3) macrame knots simply. Well done!
