Macrame Knots To Know:

Double Half Hitch ("DHH")

This beginner-friendly tutorial mostly uses the Double Half Hitch knot, which is super easy, and a staple of most macramé projects. The best part? It only takes a few minutes!

If you're unfamiliar with this knot, I encourage you to download our 50 knot free eBook to familiarize yourself with these knots, along with other commonly used knots.

This project should take 15-20 minutes, depending on your skill level.

VIDEO TUTORIAL

Cord & Supplies

Cord & Materials:

3mm or 4mm macramé cord
1mm to 2mm string
Ribbon
Crochet hook (optional)

You can find all these cords and supplies in our shop. I used a 1.5mm 2 ply string, and 3mm single strand macramé cord, both from our Rainbow line, in the color Natural.

Cord Lengths:

Cord: 3 x 150cm (59”)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Mini Wreath Ornament

Step #1:

Place a 150 cm cord down horizontally and place another strand down vertically for a Double Half Hitch ("DHH") knot leaving 4" of space at the top.

Step #2:

Leave about 3.5" on the left-end and take another strand of 150 cm cord for a DHH knot on the right-side leaving 5" of space at the top.

Step #3:

Fold the right cord end over to the left for 2 DHH knots.

We have now completed one U-shaped DHH knot pattern.

Step #4:

Repeat another U-shaped pattern by making another row of DHH knots to the right and then back over to the left.

Step #5:

Repeat until a total of 13 U-shaped patterns are made.

Step #6:

Take the bottom 2 cords and make a DHH knot.

Step #7:

Taking the next cords on both sides up, make a Double Overhand knot.

Repeat again with the next set of cords above.

Step #8:

With the 2 cord ends at the top, make an Overhand knot.

Trim the excess cord.

Step #9:

Weave the 4 cord ends through the loops at the back.

Cut off the excess cord.

Step #10:

Make a bow with a 10" ribbon and then weave a 15cm string through the back of the bow.

Step #11:

Weave the string ends through the top of the wreath and tie a double Overhand knot at the back.

Cut off the excess string ends.

That’s a wrap on the ringless wreath pattern.

And there you have it – your very own stunning macrame mini wreath ornament!

This DIY project is a fun and easy way to add a personal touch to your holiday decor, and the possibilities are endless.

Use different colors and types of cord, or add some beads or other embellishments to make it truly unique.
