Instructions in 6 steps The macramé yarn kit includes 2 assorted colours, making it easy to combine the two yarns together. Skilfully wound and knotted hanging baskets, once fitted with a planter, become true eye-catchers.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Scissors, planter

And this is how it works:

Step 1

Yarn cuttings to be prepared:
Weißes Garn
8 × 2,9 m
1 × 25 cm as suspension
Eucalyptus-coloured yarn
1 × 1,5 m for the long winding of the bottom part
22 × 50 cm for the small windings (11× wound)
1 × 70 cm for the winding of the upper part

Step 2

Take the 8 cut white yarns (2.9 m) and put them together in half. For the suspension, place the short-cut white yarn (25 cm) between them and tie its two ends together. Wind a wrap knot around the upper part of each suspension cord using the eucalyptus-coloured yarn (70 cm).

Step 3

Split each of the 4 yarns into 4 strands.

Step 4

As for the part into which the planter will later be placed, wind each strand using a wrap knot. This will later be the top edge of the planter.

Step 5

Now weave the container holder, always linking 4 cords (each made up of 2 adjacent strands) with a wrap knot. Repeat this step until you have reached the size of your container. Tie the wrap knots with the small eucalyptuscoloured yarns.

Step 6

As for the bottom part, gather all the strands together and tie them with a wrap knot using the 1.5 m long eucalyptus-coloured yarn.
