MACRAME KNOTS USED:
Reverse Lark’s Head Knot
Double Half Hitch Knot
Chinese Crown Knot
About the Knot
Reverse Lark’s Head Knot
This knot is often used to attach your cords to a dowel or ring. It’s similar to a regular Lark’s Head Knot, but reversed — which means the bump (or ridge) sits on the front of your work. It gives a neat, textured start and is perfect for projects where you want a little extra visual detail right from the top.
Double Half Hitch Knot (DHHK)
The Double Half Hitch Knot is one of the most versatile knots in macrame. It’s made by wrapping your working cord twice around a holding cord, creating a strong horizontal or diagonal line. You can use it to form outlines, define shapes (like the edges of your witch hat!), or add beautiful structure to your design.
Chinese Crown Knot
This knot is a lovely decorative knot that creates a rounded, woven texture — almost like a tiny braid. It’s often used to form sturdy cords, round shapes, or small details in a design. In this project, it adds a charming touch and helps give the hat more dimension and texture.
