How to do it
Video guide Get step-by-step instructions on how to make macramé key rings with crystals.
1 Cut four pieces of macramé cord: 2 x 1 m, 1 x 1.5 m and 1 x 0.5 m.
2 Double the two 1 m cords and thread the middle through the key ring from the back. Thread the four ends through the eyelet on the yarn to form a lark’s head knot around the key ring.
3 Find the middle of the 1.5 m cord and tie a half square knot around the four cords. Start just below the key ring. Tip: It is easier to knot if you tape the key ring to a surface.
4 Continue to make half square knots.
5 Continue to make half square knots until the total length of the knots is 6 cm.
6 Make a double half hitch knot 1-1.5 cm down.
7 A double half hitch knot consists of two rounds.
8 Make a double half hitch knot 1-1.5 cm down x 3 using the 2 cords.
9 Make a check/grid pattern by shifting the knots in the next round 1 – 1.5 cm downwards and make a double half hitch knot.
10 Make two double half hitch knots in the second round before placing the crystal in the middle.
11 Make the third double half hitch knot after the crystal has been placed in the middle, so that the grid will shape itself around the crystal.
12 Make the fourth round of double half hitch knots around the crystal.
13 Tighten the fourth round around the bottom of the crystal.
14 Use the 50 cm cord to make a macramé gathering knot.
15 Make a 7 cm loop in the cord that you use to wrap around. Start wrapping directly under the crystal and make sure that the end of the cord is easy to hold onto.
16 Wrap 6-8 times and finish by threading the cords through the loop that has been wrapped around.
17 Tighten the loop by pulling on the end of the cord. Pull until the two ends of the cord are hidden behind the wrapped cords.
18 Cut the ends so that the tassel under the crystal is 7 cm.
