Macramé beltBy Stefan Hedman, www.steffe.se/makrame

You will need threads or yarn and a buckle of some kind, in this example, I've used

two metal rings. You can also leave a bit of yarn in the beginning and the end, so

you can tie the belt instead of locking it .

Make macrame knots on the

middle of buth of them.

Prepare two thread bunches

with four threads in each.Put one of the threads through both of the rings

and fold the macramé knots you've made in half

as in the picture above. Make a pair of macramé

knots so its secured on the rings. Do the same

thing with the other thread bunch.

The two bunches should

now be split in four.

Divide them so you get

four threads in each

bunch.

Make a shared macramé

knot with the four

threads in the center.

Split them up again and make three more macramé knots.

Now put the threads together in two groups

again. Take the four middlest threads in each

group (a) and tie a macramé knot of these (b).

Do the same to both sides.

Make macramé knots of the four bunches. 5

on the outer and 3 on the inner.

Repeat steps 5 to 8 until you've got a belt in

proper length. You might have to add threads

as you tie.

Finish the belt with a overhand knot and leave

a fringe at the end.
