Brilliant and very clear tutorial. Thank you so much.
Salute thanks for this
Well from the comments thank god I found your video first! I'm excited to learn!
Espectacular
Hi thank you for this video. I want to know how many millimeters is an 8 'ott' ? Bead? Or an 11 'ott' bead?I'm just beginning and I've never heard that term. Thank you
8 aught is how 8/0 is pronounced. Seed beads are sold in sizes like 11/0, 8/0 etc. there’s a chart that can help with sizes here: rockinbeads.com/pages/learning-center/seed-bead-sizes-chart-in-inch-millimeters.html
@Sherri Stokey thank you SO MUCH for this! ..so if I have a gemstone chip beads with a drill hole of 0.5mm what is the largest size thread/cord I can use?
OMG what a wonderful tutorial. I had nearly given up being successful at macrame but have a renewed enthusiasm after watching this video. I love that you explain every step so clearly and the actions are clearly visible, no obstructions in front of the camera (i.e. head/hair/fingers). Thank you you have renewed my faith in myself that I CAN DO THIS!!
I have to add to everybody else's comments... This was a great video and a great small project to try. I finally have my cord behaving as it should more or less. I still have trouble getting a nice straight even line of DHH knots but I'm sure that's just practice. I watch you doing this and I'm amazed how clean looking everything comes out. I can't even describe it properly, but you have a talent there. I'm not sure if it's your tension on the cords, the direction you pulled the cords in, or something else that gives you a nice row of double half hitch knots. Anyway I had so much cord left over that I just kept on going. Starting from the beginning with the bundle of cords and just making row after row of diagonal lines. I need the practice. Thank you again!
One of the best videos on double half hitch knots (DHHK)! This was exactly what I was searching for the other day but couldn't find, then a different video of yours popped up and I checked out your other videos. They have been so helpful. I have been having problems with the S-lon and C-lon cords - specifically that they just won't hold knots and come undone while working. Especially the DHHK. I've ironed the cords - that will help with the curl. I'm hoping that the cord properties improved in general with the heat. I haven't tried the DHHK with this cord again since my last attempt but seeing them work for you has given me hope! Thank you.
I’m so glad it’s been helpful!! Are you using a hair straightener or curling iron to smooth the cord? I don’t know that it helps the knots hold, but it makes it easier to work with.
@@SherriStokey I used a regular iron on very low as I was afraid to melt the cord. Finally after hours struggling with this knot I got some rows done that look half decent using 1mm S-lon (ironed). This cord is tricky. Sometimes it doesn't want to hold a knot and other times it holds it so tight that the knot won't slide on the holding cord. I'm looking for some friendlier cord for more practice and more tutorials that don't confuse the heck out of me. Yours were great and I wish there were more. I had luck with this knot using paracord as a test of my abilities lol. That's how I know I had the mechanics down right, I did several rows and it came out beautifully uniform. I'm renewing an old hobby for me here, it's like learning something new again when I work with finicky cords!
Great tutorial. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Is this waxed? A lot of tutorials are saying to use waxed cord.
No. This is nylon cord, not waxed cotton.
I will have to watch a few times to do this but this is an excellent tutorial. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
s lon?
Do you recommend any books?
Where do you buy your cords and do they offer the finest thread in the color violet or amethyst? what is the size of the finest thread?
Thank you so much for showing This in detail. I want to learn to do this but every other video doesn’t show like you do.
This is the best tutorial that I’ve found! I’ve had problems learning the double half hitch knot and this video resolved that issue. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Muito bonito que comprimento tem os fios? obrigado
it depends on how long you want your finished piece to be
Muito interessante que comprimento tem os fios para fazer o cordão de um colar rente ao pescoço. Obrigado
Sherri thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! I learned more from you and got far clearer direction and understanding in 20 minutes than I have in watching so many DIY videos!
You are so welcome!
Well, I third it!! Until I found you, I was ready to throw in the towel and give up. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
I’m so glad it helped!!
What cord do you use ? Thank you so much for your video 🤩🤩😅🤩
Glad you found it helpful! I used either s-lon or c-lon nylon bead cord.
Can you please tell how do you close ends...I mean after completion of jewelry piece you simply burn the end and tick together...but does it stay like that and doesn't unwind or open ..?
Split rings make all the difference. Once you master the small ones, you will be happy!!
I’m even later to the party. This was excellent and very easy to follow.
Very simple and informative video.... Best I've seen online and I have been looking everywhere
Does that cord fray?
thank u for your tip. I am new in micro macramè and I am addicted now..
I see you’ve stopped making videos years ago. Your tutorials are really good. I would like to see you make jewelry.
yes, I’ve mostly moved on to other art forms, but I do still dabble. I still have quite a few pieces of jewelry in my KnotJustMacrame Etsy shop, too
What's the size of the green cord???? Is it 0.2 or 0.3mm?????
Also late to the party, but this is one of the best tutorials I've seen on the double half-hitch patterns. Thank you!
Now it has all become much clearer. Thank you so much for this video. I will persevere with confidence!
love it definitely I will do it. do you have any class to learn to calculate how much cord to cut?.. I just start following you...
No magic formula, sorry. It depends on how dense the knotting part of your pattern is, how many beads you include and the patterns itself. I usually guess WAY longer than I think I need the first time I try something, then scale back on subsequent attempts.
To better hide the ends at the end of a piece, when you do the second part of the knot, direct the cord end to the back of the work.
What size/ type is the smallest cord?
CLEAR!!!! Thanks a lot for your explanations. So easy to understand and follow. You are a super teacher!!!
You are the best instructor I have come across. Your pace is easy to follow, your explanations are clear and the tips are spot on! Thank you for your help. I would love to see more tutorials from you!
Thank you!!! I do have more tutorials available for purchase here: www.etsy.com/shop/knotjustmacrame/
I bought .9 s-Lon and I’m a beginner. My knots are so awful,should I try .5 while learning. I was making the tassel. Thankyou
Just keep practicing. Your knots will get better. As far as size, use whatever you have.
If I use standard .5 c-lon and 8/0 seed beads, it will just end up smaller, right? Is there a way to make the bail out of macrame as well, or do I just need to find a metal bail to use it as a pendant? I'm gonna try it! This is a really great tutorial. I also hope you make a small earring tutorial sometime.
Yes, if you use smaller cord and beads the resulting piece will be smaller. This post might give you an idea of the difference cord size makes: www.knotjustmacrame.com/2015/03/nylon-cord-size-comparison.html As far as a bail, I just run my cord or chain through the loop at the top of this piece.
This was an excellent tutorial,Thankyou so much. I will try it tomorrow.
Watching your video makes me feel like I can do this
Very good instruction, thank you!
This is the most excellent teaching video that I have seen on all of RUclips!!! You are an amazing teacher! I was completely absorbed and focused and was able to understand each step!! Bravo :)
No, you can do it the other way around if you like. As long as you’re consistent it doesn’t matter.
It’d be so good if you showed how you worked the first part! Looks beautiful
Are always supposed to do the knots in that order? Ive been doing then the other way around....
Omg I think I can make this after your clear instructions...thank you
Hi, I've just found your channel. I've been wanting to learn macramé for a long time now, you have explained the way to do these knots in great detail & much easier to understand without treating us all like kid's. Thank you so much for teaching us in a way we can understand & what happens when you go wrong, I'm so pleased to have found your channel. Your work is fabulous!!! Thank you so much, I can't wait to get started making this keyfob/pendant. 😊💖🌻💐🎉🎊
Ok, now is the time to learn this... I managed to source all materials except the beads.. They are not called crimping beads are they? I'm new to this... Would you be able to link to a UK supplier please or let me know what they are called, as I've searched all sorts of 2mm brass beads and can't find them.... I'm so eager to start this... Thankyou. I love that your video is easy to follow. Thanks 🙏
Those are 8/0 seed beads (different than crimp beads). Like these: www.beadsdirect.co.uk/miyuki-round-beads-size-8-3mm
Thank you so much... I found them eventually. I was hearing A- dot -C. I finally worked out it was 8/0 seed... My mjstake.... Thanks can order it all now 👍
Also ordered some 11/0 by accident as it was late at night...would these be suitable for .5mmm thread.? I'm guessing they won't fit on .9 thread...thanks for your help
@@bugerlugs63 no, they won’t fit on the .9 cord but yes, they work on .5mm
Thankyou...I thought so, starting to understand it now 👍
Thank you
This is what a real, good tutorial should be: with clear explanations and tips. Unlike the majority of so called “tutorials” that are simply demos without any explanations, but with some annoying music on a loop. Thank you!
