Techniques to Master
Learning the gathering knot and vertical larks head is crucial for this project. These techniques are foundational not just for this plant hanger but for many other macramé projects you might want to tackle in the future.
Gathering Knot
Take four lengths of your 9mm cord, fold them in half, and find the midpoint.
Create a loop with the midpoint and pull the other ends through it.
Tighten the knot securely. This will form the base of your hanger.
Vertical Larks Head
To make the vertical larks head, take the first cord and create a "U" shape.
Loop the ends over your base cord and pull them through the "U" shaped loop.
Pull tight to secure the knot to your holder.
Now that you've mastered these two knots, you're ready to start assembling your plant hanger!
