- I made this keychain tutorial for someone who has no idea what the Clovehitch or half hitch knot is. So I show you step-by-step exactly how to tie the knot for the first half of the video which is half of the design. If you already have mastered this not you can just skip through to see exactly how this design is made.
You can find a macrame brush and High quality 100% cotton cord here v
HolmMadeMacrame.com
I would definitely recommend using high-quality 100% cotton cord versus using regular yarn. That is if you want to get this exact look.
I am a young mother of two children so it’s kind of a struggle to not have their voices in my videos or have their hands come in once in a while ha ha my baby Vienna was with me when making this video the whole time so tons of editing has gone into this video! She actually knocked my camera over a few times LOL
but I love sharing this art with others so I’m going to continue teaching macrame tutorials!
I hope you enjoyed watching this video if you make this keychain please tag me in your story on Instagram @holmmademacrame I would love to see how yours turned out! Also if you tag @fiberartfamily you’ll have a chance to be featured on the page or in the stories!
I am starting to learn macrame as a new hobby.....wanted to start with something small before attempting a wall hanging. I was thinking of giving up because everyone I watched didn't explain it enough, went to fast, and just didn't have that teaching touch. Like I said I almost gave up....I am happy that I found you...thanks for the lesson. Greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for the easy tutorial. I really appreciate the time you take to actually show each loop repeatedly. It has helped tremendously🙏🙏🙏
I love the way you teach. Thank you. And I love your kids cameo appearances. It keeps it real! 😍
Very thorough explanation! I too have a difficult time doing this knot !
Thank you Thank you Thank you!! You’ve made learning how to tie these basic knots so much easier than the other videos I’ve tried to learn from! I will very definitely be following you! 🥰
Thank you!! I finally got the knot thanks to you dumbing it down for us! 🙌🏼🙏🏻
The 1st part of mine looked great and it got to making the 2nd part and I lost it, I slowed it down and even went back to the 1st part and the 2nd diamond didn't look good at all. I'm new to macrame but I think showing the second part and making that part slower would be beneficial.
Thank you so much for taking the time to go through how to stop messing up. I’ve finally grasped the half hitch knot! You’ve helped me lots! 🙂🥰
How much (cm) macrame use? Please answer 🙏
It would also be helpful if you put the measurements in the comments. Also, if you specify the complete length and then state fold each in half it’s easier for us newbies.
Agreed. Need measurements of cords. Confusing …
Yes as beginner the lenght is definately an important information to start the project
I still don't know how much is needed 🤔
@@consciouscoffeeplussugar2658 I tried 10 inch and it wasn't enought , I struggled to finish the last knots , I might start again with 15 inch
@@consciouscoffeeplussugar2658 I guess she said :measured at 2 foot long at 0:33 ? for my second attempt I used 27 inch and still can't get it enough to make the last knots. I am going to try for last time with 30 inch , otherwise I will be just wasting my rope while there could be other more clearer tuturials.
This to tutorial was sooooo helpful! My keychain looks absolutely beautiful! Thank you soo much! I struggled a lot with that knot with other people’s tutorials because they didn’t explain it properly! You did a perfect job! Well done and thank youXxxxx
Very confusing. Do you use 4ft which you then fold in half to make 2ft, or cut 2ft at the beginning??
😄What you need are three strings. Each one is 4ft long. So when you fold them in half, they are 2ft long.
I’ve been doing macrame for many, many years.... I only looked at this video to find out the length of cord I needed since I can just look at it and know what knots I need to make. It was very confusing when she explained how to cut each length. She just should have said to cut 3 lengths of cord each 4’ long.
@@cherylhall4605 Exactly! I got to the second diamond and realized that I didn't cut them long enough. Now I've wasted 6 feet of chord on a half finished project!
@@cherylhall4605 give her a break, lets see your tutorial,!!! at least she is trying to help people, keep it up @HolmMade Macrame
@@CraftyCrafty true, but when you're making a tutorial, details are important! I made the same mistake because she said 2ft per cord.
I got lost after you started going fast...any way of telling us what to do after you finished the diamond set instruction? Love to finish this beautiful keychain. Thanks!
Your tutorial was the best I've seen and so incredibly helpful! Thank you! I hope you restock your brushes in the future.
Love this pattern and can understand because I’ve gone elsewhere to just learn half hitch knots and square knots. Really not good to just keep saying this one and that one. More directional terms would help such as numbering cords and then referring to filler cords vs. working cords would make soooo much more sense. Prepare us for what knot is happening: Now we are going to make 3 double half hitch knots down into the right. Also agree measuring methods are nonsense. I’m going to have to make my own guess on how much rope I want to use.
This is much easier to follow than your original video of this keychain. However I would love it if you did the entire keychain at a slow pace instead of doing the last half quickly. I’m slow! Lol
This tutorial was amazing up until 11:30.. then I was completely lost and no matter how many times I paused or played back or made it slow I didn't get it ;-; sos... I'm so slow...
NEVERMIND I FINALLY FINALLY GOT IT T-T it was tough but I think I finally got the hang of it, thank you!
@CHERRY CHERRY the bottom diamond is EXACTLY the same technique as the top diamond. That's why she goes fast...because she did the exact same thing in the first diamond. Once you get the hang of the different knots, you'll see that this is actually a really good video. I would recommend watching a few other videos from others with similar keyring. Also, doing a completely different project, like a hanging planter, may help you get a good grasp on the different knots used in this video.
Great tutorial until it got to “I’m just going to make another diamond” & it went fast & now I’m lost & wasted the first part of it.. guess I should have watched the video first
SAMEE HERE
Same here >< I’m upset and I have already wasted roped the first time because of the confusion of measurement. Will finish with other videos.
Not sure why you would speed up a beginner video. Not helpful AT all.
Thank you for going slow and explaining which string stays where. It didnt matter how many times I would play it back on other videos, it always looked like the over string was being put back etc.. lol I really think I get it now. Gonna make it a mission to make this project today.
One more thing, when you say 2ft do you mean after its folded and its really 4ft if its not folded in half?
I think she means 4’ for each cord...very confusing how she describes it. She just needs to say cut 3 cords 4’ long!
Yes... It is confusing..i took 2 feet.. and it is short for me😑🥲
Why doesn’t she reply?
So is it 1 4 ft length folded in 2 3 times? That's a weird explanation on how long of cord you need...
I don’t know what measurements to make at the beginning? 4ft or 2ft for each piece? Seeing them folded in half while measuring is super confusing
2ft
Haha yes! It was confusing for sure. It looks like 4 ft total. Folded in half. So 2 ft on one side. And so 3 pieces of 4 ft to begin with. That's my best guess!
yeah I did one strand 2 feet and it wasn't nearly enough, really annoying that it was not clearly stated in the video and how she had to use weird wording. I had to redo this twice.
Oh my , this knot is my nemesis! Been working on it for hours for the last two nights and just can’t seem to get it no matter how many times I replay and slow down the video. The right side seems to go ok but then when I try to do the left side it gets messed up and doesn’t look right. Maybe it’s because I’m left handed, lol. I’m not ready to give up yet and will keep trying. Tomorrow is another day!
This is my exact same situation! Night #2 and I'm trying so hard but just can't get these knots correct either 😪
Yes I agree I’ve tried for many hours but just can’t get it to look anything like what she has done. I’ve undone it so many times the string strands has become very shaggy
Wow all this time all yhese years ive been making my friendship bracelets that same way but didnt know thats what it was called 🤣🤣🤣
So when you get to the part where you say now I'm just gonna do this really fast, are we supposed to go back to the beginning and do that over again? I just can't tell what you're doing and I really want to finish it.
Yes repeat the steps for another diamond
So for the rope measurements do you mean 4 feet each for the 3 pieces of rope folded in half?
Did you find out?
Wow thank you! I was really struggling with these knots but you explained very well!
Just a little note, it'd be nice if you could put the cord measurements in the description box since some people are finding it confusing!
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
SO HELPFUL!
Taking me a while to understand this but to make it more simple could you name the robes a and b or left and right because I kept getting lost at this one and this one.. but great tutorial!
Your method of measuring is extremely confusing. I've watched a bunch of your videos and you always make it so confusing. Just say how many feet each should be and the rest of us can use a measuring tape so we don't cut and waste all of our cords.
I agree!
Each cord should be 2ft long do this 6xs.
I'm wrong, 3 ropes at 4ft lengths
Oh great I cut mine wrong. That sucks
At first this was so unbelievably confusing. Now I have it down and it’s thanks to this video! I like how you talk unlike other tutorials
Thank you😍 I’m so glad this was helpful for you!! Thanks for your positivity!
So, in order to make the second diamond, do I go all the way to the beginning of the video for a slowed down version? Or do you start making the first diamond part way into the video?
This is where I'm stuck! I wish she wouldn't have sped up the video 😞
Wow Amazing Video. I‘ve seen so much German Videos i didn‘t understand, but your English Video is sooooo much better 😍 I am happy with my result and leave a follow on your Account ❤️ Thank you and greets from Germany 🖤
Awesome tutorial.. Thanks a lot.. It's very helpful for a complete beginner 🙂
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Thank you for going slow. It might be easier to follow if strands were numbered. Ex. "folding strand #4 over strand #3" vs "take this one and then that one".
You are just amazing!!!! I was gonna give up on it after watching so many videos! But you made it so simple and easy to follow! I love ya ❤️
I'm sorry I'm new to this...is the individual piece of string 2 feet or 4 feet?
Le quedó precioso , lástima que sólo hablo español, su idioma no se lo entiendo ,, gracias por el video ,
Hi! I just want to ask what size of macrame cord did you use? 3mm? Thanks before :)
I still can’t get this knot 😔 I’m really trying to follow which string goes where, but mine just doesn’t end up looking like yours. I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong…
I managed to make half of it, thanks to the confusion over measurements at the start! I made 3 x 2ft lengths folded in half 🤦🏻♀️
So did it need to be a total of four ft per length, folded in half to make 2ft each?
@@staceycolvin7624 yes, exactly that!
What are the measurements needed? My brain isn’t working. Is it 2 feet folded or
She skips through the entire second diamond after showing how to do it once so I would not recommend this video for a beginner... also I've never heard someone describe how much rope you need like that... didn't make much sense. Just say 3 pieces of rope at a length of whatever its supposed to be
I’m so confused
Is this mustard or marigold? Very beautiful
Also are you using the 100ft 3mm roll or 200ft 3mm roll? Just curious of which roll you had in the beginning it was large. Thanks
Using my regular large spool of 3mm it’s about 700ft
Does the back look the same as the front side? I finished one but the back doesn't look the same as the front... Is it I am making the knots too loose?
i find these impossible to follow, without knot names i cnat learn em
The editing on this causes a lot of confusion
This was the hardest video to follow :( had to go to another one
This was the hardest video to follow :( had to go to another one
For some strange reasons I ran out of rope and didn't finish the last part of the inverted V shape design. Probably I missed calculated my rope length. Anyway nice tutorial. Really beginner friendly.
PS. baby's hand is cute.
3 2ft cords or 3 4ft cords? Your loop thing is confusing
Thank you. I watched the video four times and by the fifth, I got it down. I realize I need a wider keychain and I need to make sure to tighten it.
Ohhh perfect!!!! That was so nice of you to take the time to make a new video.
Thank you! I’m so happy this video worked out for you! I’ve had a ton of negativity commented on the last one so I do know that I didn’t explain the knots enough and made the keychain as if you guys knew how to tie those knots I am sorry about that that! ❤️
Love watching your tutorials.
Oh man. I paused after every step and yet I was so confused and it came out looking horrible. The measuring part you mentioned was really confusing as well.
Oh oh... A new videooo... 😍😍😍 thank youuuu... Now i can follow this tutorial..
The measurement expanation at the begining? It is easier to say 3 cords 4ft then fold in half? Perhaps just me, but that confused me. Also, sorry, the kid noises in the background, I found personally very distracting. As were the notices put up at the bottom of the screen, explaining what the noises were! I thought they were instructions on how to do the pattern and which cord to use at first and stopped the video and what I was doing to read them. i think a separate video on how to do the knot, then this video how how to do this particular pattern would be better. Once the knot has been mastered, I just wanted to know how to do this pattern, but gave up as the long explanations on the knot and the kid noises gave me a headache. Sorry, but it is an honest opinion.
I was not confused on the measurements in the beginning. Thank you so much for this easy to follow tutorial! I am going to hobby lobby as we speak!! :)
What are the measurements on the yarn?
I cannot find that keychain anywhere. Even on amazon. Where have you guys found them? And what is the exact one called that she is using?
This was so helpful compared to looking at pdfs of this design. Thank you. Loved the baby chatter in the background too.
This by far was the easiest tutorial to follow. While other channels numbered each rope or talked and moved too fast, you explained it very simply and slowly and I was able to follow watching the movement of your fingers. I also found your tip helpful regarding holding the main rope tight. Thank you!
Started making it and going well so far, my only criticism is that the measurements need to be SO much clearer. I can see you’ve commented on someone’s comment clarifying but maybe it would be helpful to update the description with that info & make a pinned comment?
I was doing good...until you sped it up. 😭. Literally cannot even finish it now.
Hands down one of the best tutorial videos on this knot! Thank you so much!
As a beginner I find this so confusing compared to other tutorials, maybe it's me but for love nor money could I get the hang of this video 🙈
Thanks for going slow but its so zoomed in I ket losing what was supposed to be going where.
Thank u so much
For measurement the total length is 48 inch before folding
THANKS🙏🏼❤️
I loved the video until you Sped it up on the second diamond I had to go hunt for where are you started the first time in and then got really confused
Really like the look and ease of the soft fringe finish, but worried it will come undone over time. Anyone tested this loose finish as opposed to tying more of a knot at the end and wrapping?
That is SO GOOD!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️ I will definitely subscribe!!! 👍👍
I recommend watching a video on how to do a double half hitch knot BEFORE doing this.
Where can I find the macrame rope? I can’t seem to find it anywhere 😩😭
Hi! I just want to ask what size of macrame cord did you use? Thanks. :)
I have been having such problems with the double hitch knot - I think the problem has been that I haven’t been pulling things tight enough. It has been driving me crazy so your tip has made a real difference. Thank you.
I’m so happy this video helped you!
Thank you for this great tutorial, was my first macrame!
Is this 3mm or 5mm cord?
I got lost after you went fast - I couldn't go any further!
Thank you so much, you explained it so well, and made it easy to learn
He diametro ha il cordino 3 o 5 mm?
How thick is the thread you used? I loved how it turned out! You gave me an idea for a friend's day gift! Thank you! Greeting from Argentina. (I am with the translator, I hope you understand what I am asking)
I’m pretty sure it’s 3mm
The thread is 3mm thick! Thank you!!
Despite other’s comments, I thought your tutorial was explanatory and easy to follow. I just need to pick up speed as I keep re-making the same mistake. That’s on me, but I’ll get there. Thank you.. 😊
Thank you! After few attempts finally got it. :)
Your hands are hidden alot of the time. Mine looks nothing like yours. Can't figure out what I"m doing wrong because I can't see your hands.
Thank you ❤❤
Excuse me how long the macro thread??
Thank you so much!!! Your explanations were so helpful and I was able to follow along and made my first keychain! This has been the best video I’ve seen explaining the knots!
What key ring from Amazon did you use? I can’t find it! Looking forward to making this :)
what would you name this keychain???
such a good easy video Thank you! Not confusing at all.
Thank you for this video, you are a great teacher 😊🙏
13:19
this isn’t very beginner friendly lol
I watched several videos before yours and FINALLY understood those knots so THANK YOU for sharing.
Absolutely same deal. Could not figure that knot out until this video. Thank you!
Loved this video. Thought the explanation was really clear. It helped things clock into place for me. Loved the baby in the background. 🥰
Love your way of explaining this macrame keychain.Thanks for sharing this video with us .Love from India❤️
Hi may i knw how many cm for the key ring?
What time-stamp should we restart at for the second diamond?
