The possibilities of macramé are endless, and our new Knitter Pro Dawing Knots is ready to prove it. Today we are going to show you how to weave the original flower she designed for the Sevilla Teje festival, an ideal accessory that will allow you to add that on-trend touch to both your outfits and your home, using it as a scrunchie, as a bracelet, to decorate your napkins for the most special meals, and much more!
We tie the first cord folded in half to the other, which will serve as support, and fix the support cord with adhesive tape.
VERTICAL CORD KNOT
We make a circle with the second cord, from bottom to top, and give it another turn as in the photo.
Close it well and move up to the support cord. Now pass the second half of the first cord over the working cord and repeat the two turns as before, as in the photos.
Take a second working cord and, as before, wrap it once around the first vertical cord. Repeat the turn to close the knot and move to the second vertical cord, repeating the same steps as before.
We do the same with the other two cords. Once all of them are tied with the vertical cord knot, we start to go down the left half: we fold our first cord downwards and tie all the others to it with the same knot.
Repeat the same once more, creating a second line of knots.
For the last line, we need to fold each cord downwards and progressively include it in each turn, as in the photo.
Finish up to the last cord and move to the right half, repeating the same steps.
To close our petal, we take an outer cord from the left and pass it in front of the others, and we take an outer cord from the right and pass it behind the others and into the circle, as in the photo.
Close well and apply tension, pulling some cords if any are out of place.
Once we have our first petal, we will need to create four more, making a total of 5 petals.
When we have all 5 made, we will close our flower.
Take 5 to 6 cords of one or more colors, tie a knot at one end and place them in the center of the petals to create the pistil.
Take a cord approximately 50 cm long and, holding the petals together in a circle with one hand, make a wrapped knot with the other.
WRAPPED KNOT
Take one end of the thread, loop it downwards and secure it with your thumb. Then start wrapping it around all the cords (about 5 or 5 times). On the last turn, tuck the thread inside the fold and pull it upwards, so that the knot is hidden halfway. Trim the excess ends.
Now our flower is made!
You can cut some threads if you feel like it, and tie the flower with one or more simple knots to a hair tie, thus creating a scrunchie, or to a wooden ring to create a napkin ring.
