Macrame Bookmark: Classic Pattern

This is one of the most common macrame patterns and a great beginer project. It only involves two knots. Lets get into it.

Supplies:

  • Jumbo 4 inch paper clip (available in bulk on Amazon, Office stores, and Hobby Lobby)

  • 3mm cotton cord

  • Scissors

  • Ruler

  • Brush (Pet brush or comb work great)

Directions:

Step 1: Gather supplies and cut 3 cords at 30 inches.

Step 2: Attach the 3 cords to the bottom of the paper clip with a larks head knot.

Step 3: Divide them in half and grab the outermost cord to create your lead cord for diagonal clove hitch knots.

Step 4: Make diagonal clove hitch knots starting at the top of both ends and link them together in the center. This will form a “V” shape.

Step 5: Make at least 2 rows (or as many as you want).

Step 6: Trim and brush and then trim again till you like the length.

Step 7: All done! Now pop it in a book!
