SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
- Macramé cord
- Scissors
- Comb (optional)
- Pumpkins
DIRECTIONS:
- Begin by cutting two pieces of macramé cord about 40" in length.
- Tie knots at each end about 6"-10" from the ends.
- Cut at least thirty-six pieces of macramé cord about 24" in length.
- Create a reverse lark's head knot by folding each 24" piece of cord in half and attach to the 40" piece of macramé cord.
- Repeat step 4 for each of the thirty-six pieces of cord.
- Starting with the farthest cord on the left, create a vertical half hitch knot by wrapping the cord on the left (knotting cord) all the way around the knot-bearing cord, creating a loop by bringing it under the knotting cord and back over itself. Repeat 4 times across.
- Skip across four cords and repeat process but create knots that go diagonally in the left direction.
- Repeat steps 6-7 across the cord and continue process down the cord, alternating directions to create a unique pattern. Alternate the pattern by adding two rows of the design or alternating directions of the design.
- Trim excess cord at the bottom so there is about 1" of excess cord; using fingertips or a comb, rough up the ends of the cord to create a fringe.
- Wrap macramé around pumpkin and tie ends to secure in place.
