If you wish to acquire a macram carpet for your living room, your office or the center of your room, we recommend you choose one of larger size. Free to arrange the carpet as you wish, at the foot of your sofa, under the coffee table in your living room, or in the center of a desk or a tent room.

Using the outer right cord, a mirror number 4 shape appears over the left cord. The first two strands should be left over as you move on to your second row of square knots. As part of Step 5, make a zigzag pattern across the entire width of your rug. Connect the two sides of half hitch knots to the halves. In step 7, you will make a diamond pattern as well as infinite rows of square knots. To make the central diamond, place the middle cords of your two longest cords together.

There are lots of beginner macrame projects and tutorials on YouTube. Macrame Practice Project Reasons I recommend a small “practice” project: The cords that you will use for knotting will need to be about five to six times the finished length. The cords that are your “core” cords that are being used for the shape but not actually being knotted may only need to be about twice the finished length. Remember to leave extra cord length for making fringe or other decorative additions at the ends. And, it’s better to have too much rope than too little. You can always trim long pieces at the end.
