The Reverse Lark's Head Plus Half Hitch Knot (RLHPHH)

The Reverse Lark's Head Plus Half Hitch ("RLHPHH") knot is a creative upgrade to the classic Reverse Lark's Head.

Think of it as a two-in-one knot!

You start with the Reverse Lark’s Head to anchor your cord, then add a Half-Hitch knot on each side for that extra flair and strength.

It’s a simple yet powerful way to give your macrame designs more depth and texture, making your pieces look even more intricate and polished.

Where can you use  The Reverse Lark's Head Plus Half Hitch? 

The Reverse Lark's Head Plus Half Hitch ("RLHPHH") knot is a versatile knot that works well in various macrame projects.

It’s perfect for securing cords to dowels, rings, or rods, offering extra stability for your designs.

This knot also adds texture and a clean finish, making it ideal for creating decorative edges on wall hangings or plant hangers.

For weight-bearing projects like hammocks or plant hangers, the RLHPHH knot strengthens joints and ensures durability.

Additionally, it helps build texture and depth, enhancing the overall visual interest of your macrame pieces.

If you're working on geometric patterns, the RLHPHH knot is a great choice for creating clean, angular shapes.

It's a go-to for adding both style and strength to your work!

Steps to Tie a RLHPHH Knot:

• Step 1: Fold a strand of cord in half and attach it to your mounting object with a Reverse Lark's Head knot.
• Step 2: Take the right cord end and tie a Half Hitch knot on the right side.
• Step 3: Take the left cord end and tie a Half Hitch knot on the left side.
• Step 4: Pull both cords to tighten the knot.

The RLHPHH knot covers more space than the Reverse Lark's Head knot alone and resembles the look of Double Half Hitch knots, making it a good fit with them in your design.
