Macramé 101: Square Knot

The square knot is one of Macramé's basic knots. Emily Katz from Modern Macramé teaches you how to make it.
To make the Square Knot, you need an even number of cords.
For a left sided Square Knot (SK) take the left cord over the two center cords, then the right cord over the tail of the left, behind the two and up and through the half circle made by the left cord.
Repeat on the right side. Take your right cord, bring it over the two center cords, take the left cord over the end of the right, behind the two and up and through the half circle made by the right cord.
Wait to tighten the cords until you have them exactly where you want them to be.

Thank you for doing this with large rope so we beginners can actually see what your doing...Have to admit I watched it a zillion times till I got it lol but I got it....

Of course! The larger rope is so much easier to see and learn from! Glad you got it 😃

is it 1 square knot in the video or 2? (left + right)

[@rositaquezada9694]

If you want to know why you got a thumbs down is because iam a begginer I need more repeats to learn at least 3 times do square knot.

Hi Rosita! A great tool on TH-cam that can be helpful with learning these knots is to adjust the playback speed (an option on the bottom right side of the toolbar) to less than "Normal." We'd suggest .25 if you'd like to go in super-slow motion! That way you won't have to rewind the video over and over. That's always an option too if you need to see it again. Good luck and we're glad you're learning macramé!
