All you need to do to start Macramé wall hangings is to learn how to knotting. There are dozens of Macramé knots you can learn.  Some of these nodes can be simple, and some can be advanced.

But the most common are square knots and half knots.  We recommend that you first learn one of these two nodes thoroughly and then move on to the other nodes.

• Square node

The square knot, which is the most widely used Macramé knot, can be woven left or right. Square knots must have at least four threads or more.  2 pieces for knotting and two pieces in the role of filler Macramé.

The first and last threads we call working threads 1 and 4 are used for knitting.  The middle threads are filler, and we number them 2 and 3.  Although these threads change their location, they still retain their original number.

• Half node

A half knot is half a square knot.  It can be left or right, depending on which side you start.

• Square and left half knots

The left node of the square has a vertical line on the left. To do this, take the first thread (working thread 1) and move it to the right above the middle filling threads (filling threads 2 and 3) and under the last thread (working thread 4).
Remove thread four and move it to the left under the two filler wires and above the working wire 1. Pull both working threads (1 and 4) to tighten, also keep the filler threads straight. This node is a semi-square to the left.

After learning the types of knots, we tie the threads to a wooden ring or wooden mounting depending on the kind of knotting. And we use decorative beads on the ropes. After connecting the thread to the wooden ring or the wooden mount, cut the ends of the threads short or long with scissors.
