A braided Wall Hanging with Macramé from Cotton Tube Yarn

1   Cut 14 pieces of cotton tube yarn, each measuring 275 cm. Double them over and tie them around the stick as illustrated in the photo.

2   Begin with the two middle doubled-over pieces of cotton tube yarn. Tie a knot consisting of two knots (a reef knot).

3   Now braid the two next doubled-over pieces of cotton tube yarn on either side a bit further down.

4   Tie a reef knot in the middle.

5   Continue like this all the way down and to the right. A total of seven reef knots.

6   Repeat in the other side (to the left).

7   Fill in with reef knots in between, creating half a diamond shape.Now tie reef knots and mirror the shape.

8   Now tie reef knots and mirror the shape. Finish with the reef knot in the middle. Now the diamond shape is complete.

9   Tie knots on all the ends and trim, making them shortest in the middle and longer towards each side.

10   Tie a piece of cotton tube yarn onto the two loops on either end of the natural stick.
