Macramé book Makramee – Das große Buch der Muster: over 70 knots and 33 projects

The book "Makramee – Das große Buch der Muster" from the TOPP range of frechverlag is a reference and ideas book for anyone who wants to learn and combine macramé knots and patterns. It shows over 70 knots and knot patterns that can be freely combined with one another. Every pattern is explained step by step, with photos and sketches.

There are also 33 DIY projects from a range of areas, for example bracelets, bags and home ideas, from a fashionable necklace to a colourful shopping net, according to the catalogue entry. These projects let you practise the patterns and discover first ways of combining the knots. With a little practice, you can go on to knot your own designs.

Working with the book

The book begins with a short introduction to the technique, history and present-day use of macramé. The first chapter covers materials, accessories and basic techniques. The knots and patterns follow, which you can learn one by one and then link together. Because the patterns can be freely combined, you gradually develop your own designs from the basics. Practise a new knot first on a swatch in thick yarn, as that is where you can see the course of the knot most clearly.
