Macrame Pattern Book: Includes Over 70 Knots and Small Repeat Patterns Plus Projects

I’d never tried macrame until I bought this book. Easy to follow instructions and great pictures. I’m surprised how easy it actually is. Recommend for people who want to try a new craft or create something beautiful for your home.

It is unique in its approach by having a large number of sample panels of knot combinations producing "fabric" specimens in a manner which made me think of one of my wife's knittig books which also concentrated on stitch combination to produce patterned fabrics, as opposed to garments.The use of symbols for knots is also something not seen elsewhere, and reaches a new level where they are cmbined to codify the construction of the fabric-sample panels. My main criticism us that the colour photographs of these sample panels could have been printed larger on the page and against a plain background, since I found them indistinct when I tried to confirm the finished appearance against the pattern "map".As a traditional (Scouting background) knot tyer, I have a general complaint about the knot names used by macramé authors. The same knot often appears with a different name in different books!

I've just started macrame and was looking for a book for a beginer. This book is brilliant. It has everything I need from basic knots, to putting them together and how to read knot patterns. Lots of different knot patterns and lastly things to make. Everything I need

Great book for patterns and ideas, however I know a lot of people who have this book and say the explanations need more for the novice. Sometimes a little hard to follow but with experience this would be a fantastic book to own

Not many projects in this book that I want to do, but it is good for showing a great many knots and how to do them. Instructions are quite simple and easy to follow, with diagrams to help. A good book if, like me, you are just starting out on your macrame journey!
