macrame knots tying knotwork APPLICATION description

Macramé (MAC-ruh-may) is the art/craft of tying cordage into knots in such a way that they form a useful or decorative shape. This was a very popular craft in the 1970s in the USA that is now being revived in the form of jute jewelry and knotted purses. Using all types of knots and additional decals such as beads, you'll be able to create your own macramé crafts in no time. Macrame is an easy, affordable craft to learn. It requires very few tools and just some simple knowledge of basic knots. The knotting cord and knot-bearing cord can change from step to step in a macrame pattern.

Knots can be attractive and decorative in addition to being useful. This article describes several decorative knots which were chosen for their symmetric and attractive qualities, as well as for their ease of tying. There are many other decorative knots, but they can be quite complex to tie.

A decorative or ornamental knot (also fancy knot) is an often complex knot exhibiting repeating patterns.

Often originating from maritime use, "decorative knots are not only serviceable and functional but also enhance the ship-shape appearance of any vessel." Decorative knots may be used alone or in combination,and may consist of single or multiple strands.
