Instructions in 11 steps The macramé yarn kit includes 2 assorted colours, making it easy to combine the two yarns together. By tying knot after knot, different hanging storage possibilities emerge.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Scissors

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Yarn cuttings to be prepared:
White yarn
4 × 4 m
36 × 3 m
Eucalyptus-coloured yarn
4 × 20 cm for short windings
1 × 50 cm
1 × 2 m for winding the bottom part

Step 2

Pass the 4 white yarns (4 m) through the small ring.

Step 3

Tie these yarns together with the 50 cm long eucalyptus-coloured thread, making a wrap knot below the ring.

Step 4

Attach a large metal ring to the long strands, taking 2 strands together each time, measuring 35 cm from the top winding up to the ring, then fix the ring in place with a lark's head knot.

Step 5

Tie underneath a square knot with one of the white strands (3 m). Do the same with the rest of the strands.

Step 6

Tie also the remaining 32 white yarns (3 m) to the ring by attaching 2 yarns to the ring again with the lark's head knot.

Step 7

Now you need to weave a net by connecting 4 strings (each made up of 2 adjacent strands), with a 3 cm gap between them towards the top, using a full square knot. Repeat this step until 3 rows are formed.

Step 8

After the last row, insert the second large metal ring into each strand using a full square knot.

Step 9

Now, tie 9 square knots on each strand.

Step 10

To make the bottom, bring all the knotted strands together towards the middle and tie them together with the 2 m long eucalyptus-coloured using a wrap knot.
