## MACRAME General Instructions

EQUIPMENT: T-pins. Scissors. Tape measure or ruler. Knotting board (brown paper marked off in one inch squares for gauge. Place over knotting board of Celotex, cork, or padded cardboard). Rubber bands for bobbins (wind lengths overhand, secure with rubber band and release as needed). 1-yarn needle.

KNOTTING: 1. Keep the foundation yarn secure and in place by using T-pins in the overhand knot at either end. 2. Keep leader taut and straight on an angle or parallel to the foundation yarn. 3. Tie knots tightly to cover leader. 4. Secure with pins to keep accurate measurement. (Use the one inch squares as a gauge.)

Learn all knots on sample piece before beginning, making sure to acquire the right tension. This will enable you to identify the knots.

Five knots are used in this booklet. They are basically the same differing mainly in direction. 1. Reversed Double Half Hitch (R D H H) as shown in figure #1, used for mounting lengths onto foundation yarn. Fold length in half, tuck looped end over foundation yarn and pull toward you, tuck loose ends into loop and tighten. 2. Overhand Knot (O H K) as shown in figure #2. Hold length in left hand, with right hand bring it up and over towards the left through loop formed, tighten. 3. Vertical Half Hitch (V H H) as shown in figure #3. Hold one length in left hand, with right hand bring next length around and between the two lengths (counts as one knot). Bring left length around right and between the two lengths. Continue for the number of knots indicated. 4. Diagonal Double Half Hitch (D D H H) as shown in figure #4. Working from left to right, the leader (length on which the knots are tied) is held in the right hand. Each length is knotted onto it in the same manner as the first knot of the V H H two times. The leader is held taut and on a downward angle. Working from right to left the leader is held in the left hand. 5. Horizontal Bar or Horizontal Double Half Hitch (H B or H D H H) as shown in figure #5. Holding the leader taut and parallel to the foundation yarn work as D D H H.

Asterisk...*. This indicates that the directions immediately following are to be repeated the given number of times in addition to the ones already given. Thus “repeat from * 3 times” means 4 patterns in all.

Using same length as leader work back to the left. Starting 2 inches below last bar worked, with right outside A work a HB across entire piece to the left. Using same length as leader work back to the right. With outside 2 A lengths on either side tie 8 VHH. Divide the center D lengths into 4 lengths having 2 strands each. Tie 8 VHH with first 2 lengths of D and 8 VHH with next 2 lengths of D. These will be used to form the lacing loops. Sew ends of loops into position. With yarn needle or crochet hook weave in the ends on the back side for at least ½ inch. Trim.

With the same length as leader work to the right in DDHH so that the last knot is 2 inches below last HB worked. NOTE: Work all angles to correspond with this in size. The next color group will be worked to form a diamond <>. Divide D having 1 strand of yarn to a length. These will remain this way throughout work. Work left D strand to the left in DDHH and back to the center forming an angle <. Work right D 22 strand to the right in DDHH and back to the center forming an angle >. * The next 6 lengths of A will be worked to form an angle >. With the first A as a leader work in same manner as the first group of A reversing direction. The next 12 lengths of A will be worked to form an X. With first length as leader work in DDHH to center, knotting each of the next 5 lengths. With last of 12 lengths as leader work to the left, to the center, knotting each of the next 5 lengths. With the 2 leaders knot 3 VHH and carry leaders in opposite directions forming the X. Divide the next 3 lengths into 2 lengths of 3 strands each. These will remain this way throughout work. Tie 7 VHH. Work the next 12 lengths to form an X. Work the next 6 lengths in the same manner as the first group of 6 forming an angle < *. The center color group (next 20 lengths) will be worked to form an X. With first C length as leader work in DDHH to the center. With first C on the right as leader work in DDHH to the center. With the center 2 C lengths tie 3 VHH and carry leaders in opposite directions in DDHH forming the X. Repeat between *’s once. Work last color group in same manner as first. Work last A group in same manner as first reversing direction to form an angle > **. Repeat between **’s 3 times. * With the left outside length as leader, work a HB across entire piece to the right.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
