Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel. Today I am going to show you how to create a Lotus Flower using double half hitch knots.
For a slower, more in-depth tutorial on the 3 Must-Know Macrame Knots (including the double half hitch knot) please click here: • 3 MUST-KNOW BASIC MACR...
Set-up: Cut 8 pieces of cord. For this tutorial I used 3 meters of string but please note that I had quite a bit of string leftover afterwards. Cut your cord depending on how much cord you would like left hanging below your flower afterwards. Fold each piece in half and attach to your dowel using Lark's Head knots.
Using the 2 centre cords, tie a double half hitch knot. Using the 2 centre cords as your filler cords tie 3 more diagonal double half hitch knots on both sides of your work.
Using the cord second from the left as your filler cord, tie 2 diagonal double half hitch knots working down and to the right.
Using the cord second from the right as your filler cord, tie 2 diagonal double half hitch knots working down and to the left.
This is a bit of a tricky part - using the cord on the left, tie just one half hitch to the cord on the right.
Using the same filler cord tie 3 more diagonal double half hitch knots working down and to the right.
Repeat that process on the right side of your work.
Tie the 2 filler cords together at the bottom using a double half hitch knot.
Using the cord second from the left as your filler cord tie 6 double half hitch knots. When you tie your first 3 knots, leave a little bit of space in between your last row and this row as we are create the top of a petal.
Using the cord 4th from the left as your filler cord, tie 2 diagonal double half hitch knots working up and to the left. Change your filler cord - you will now use the cord on the left as your filler cord and tie 6 double half hitch knots working down and to the right. When you tie your first 3 knots, leave a little bit of space in between your last row and this row as we are create the top of another petal.
Repeat that same process on the other side of your work.
Tie one more diagonal double half hitch knot on both sides of your work then tie a final double half hitch knot with the 2 filler cords to connect the 2 sides.

so beautiful. I'm in the process of figuring out how to make a darth vador tapestry for my brother and I'm pretty sure I'm going to use this basic method to create the design. This was helpful in visualizing my method. Your work is beautiful
Ooh! How'd it go? I'd love to see it!
Beautiful
Muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos y tú tiempo. Saludos cordiales y abrazos fraternales y prolongados.
Thank you so much for your tutorials, and thanks you for not playing irritating music during your tutorial.
Ese color rosa resalta con las plantas bello
Thanks so much for the tutorial! Pulled my dreamcatcher together beautifully!! Ill share on insta when finished!
Loved it. I included it in a macrame for my sister. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you very much. Its so pretty.
My favorite so far! Beautiful!
Very nice
Me gustaría las instrucciones escritas en español. Desde México gracias
Really beautiful. Such great quality tutorials very easy for a beginner like me to follow
Gorgeous
Beautiful!
I can't tell which way the knots are actually being tied & my hand is starting to hurt untieing all my knots, is there a trick this?
💙 When you are tying a double half hitch, no matter what angle you hold your filler cord your double half hitch always wraps around from behind the filler with your tail end looped over the side closest to the top of your work (not the side closest to your hand holding the filler cord) ➰
I hope that makes sense? It’s always more difficult describing than demonstrating ☺️ Hope that helps and good luck 💙
Thank You so much for this tutorial
This is really beautiful. I love the patterns that you show, but I am not sure how to make them into fully pieces. There are a lot of the designs that I'd like to incorporate into making wall plant hangers, but I am not sure how I would finish it off. Would you ever do demos of this? Thank you!
I am wonder the same thing
Thank you ver y muchos!!! Beutifull kisses from Argentina
This was very helpful!!! Thank you
Perfeito... Estou tentando fazer agora. Obrigada pelo vídeo👏👏👏👏
Beautiful and innovative. ❤️Thank you!
Wonderful..may I ask..How to calculate the length of the thread..please
💙 figuring out your length is always the tricky part for us artists and it depends on the knot you plan to use. As a general guideline your cord should measure 4 times your desired finished length
@@SimplyInspiredbySheena thank you
can i use any of these beautiful designs to make a macramé hanging basket if so, can you show a video of it?
Great Video, clear and easy to follow ! thank you !
Hermoso!!! Muchas gracias por compartir!!!. 😊
Beautiful
This is gorgeous so gorgeous and I'm trying to follow the tutorial but I'm having a really hard time figuring out which way you're tying the knots because your hands are in front of it :/
Ganhou uma seguidora 😍
So frustrating None of your tutorials tell you how long long the cords supposed to be and I love them they're so beautiful but What length of cord
❤
This is beautiful and I appreciate the tutorial, but the cords def do not need to be 3m long. Half that works.
👌👌👌 unfortunately, I can't undrestand English, but It's nice
Nice pattern, but what is the length of the string to begin with? also, it's not enough to say "just repeat the same sequence on the right", you need to show it too!
Hello, I’m very interested in making this! I’m a beginner and need a bit more help :) You wrote that you used 3 metres of cord. Was that for each string or total? I hope this makes sense. Thanks so much for this tutorial!
I don’t have a lot of cord because of the cost and where I live. I had 1 meter left of each cord. What was reason for having each cord 3 meters long? Yes, I used the exact cord.
Would you please write, what length of cord you use?
Hi Nigar, yes I used cords that were 3 meters in length and then folded them in half to attach them to my dowel using Lark's Head Knots. Thanks
LotsofKnots Canada it would be awesome if you put the length in the description so we don’t cut our cords too short :)
Q lindo!!!
Lindo
What length cord?
I'd like to know that too, very poor tutorial, despite nice design :(
💙 I believe this tutorial is meant for you to incorporate it into your own designs so the length would differ based on your project. However if this was your main design I think 60 inches (1.5 meters) of 3mm single strand cotton cord would be more than enough and still leave you with a lovely fringe length 💙
@@SimplyInspiredbySheena Hi! Would that be the total amount of cord for the whole project or is the 60" the amount for each individual cord? Thanks! 🙃
Please can you teach us to make letters with double half hitch knot in a Square knot Work?
Like the Jackson jute bags
kikuko toda hi there! I have a tutorial for the letter “E”. Please click the link below for access:

I'm loving your channel and videos. This particular one is INCREDIBLE!
I have two questions:
Can you tell me specifically what kind of yarn/thread you are using? I picked up "macarame" rope at my craft store, and it's just too bulky and coarse.
2) I'm having trouble getting my work to lay flat/nice. What am I doing wrong? Is it the material I'm using, or a flaw in my knot tying process?
Megan Clark-Hutchings thank you!! Yes the exact material is listed in the description (and available in my Etsy Shop)!
My advice to get your work to lay flat is to make sure your tension is consistent! It takes practice but it makes all the difference in your work - especially when you are tying double half hitch knots.

El diseño es muy bonito, pero no se ve simétrico... el lado derecho está muy irregular
❤ just waouuu
Where is the more in depth tutorial or “link” in description?
