The Gathering Knot is your go-to when it’s time to wrap things up—literally!
This knot is used to bundle cords together neatly, giving your macrame project that perfect, polished finish.
You’ll often find it at the base of plant hangers or wall hangings, where all those cords come together and need a tidy way to be secured.
Why is it a must-know knot?
It’s the finishing touch every macrame project needs.
Quick to do, easy to master, and it makes everything look polished and professional.

It’s the perfect way to tie it all together.
Steps to tie a Gathering Knot:
- Step 1: Hold the gathered cords
- Step 2: Take the working cord and make a loop with one end
- Step 3: Take the longer end and wrap it around from the back to the front of the gathered cords
- Step 4: Repeat for a few more wraparounds
- Step 5: Take the same end and weave it through the loop at the bottom
- Step 6: Pull on the top end to tighten the knot
Where can you use the Gathering Knot?
The Gathering Knot is perfect for pulling everything together at the end of a plant hanger, tying up the bottom of a wall hanging, or anytime you need to neatly gather multiple cords.
It doesn’t just secure your cords—it also adds a little decorative flair to the end of your project.
