Hey guys! Last year I uploaded a tutorial for a small diamond pattern using double half hitch knots. I received a few comments that people were having trouble with this pattern so I have an updated tutorial to share with you today. This tutorial explains the pattern in more detail and is slower. Let’s get started!
Set up - Cut 6 pieces of 3mm string, each piece is 2 meters in length. Fold each piece in half and attach to your dowel using Lark’s Head knots.
This pattern uses 4 strands to create a small diamond. We need to tie one DHHK with the two middle cords before using them as filler cords to create the middle section of the diamond. One middle cord will be using at the filler cord and one will be used as the working cord. I will use the middle cord on the LHS as my filler cord and the other as my working cord.
We will now use these two cords as our filler cords to create the middle section of the diamond. Working on the right tie a DHHK - remember that the middle cord will be used as your filler cord and the cord to the right of it will be used as your working cord.
Repeat that process on the left side of your work using the middle cord as your filler cord and the cord to the left of it as your working cord.
We have created the top half of the diamond now we will create the bottom half. Working on the left, use the same cord as your filler cord and the same cord as your working cord except now tie your DHHK working to the right. Working on the right, use the same cord as your filler cord and the same cord as your working cord except now tie you DHHK working to the left.
We will tie one more DHHK with the two middle cords. Since I used the middle cord on the LHS as my filler cord at the top of the diamond I will do that again now at the bottom of the diamond.
To create continuous diamonds using this pattern only one knot is tied to connect the diamond at the top and the diamond underneath. So we will now tie our DHHKs to create the middle section of the diamond.
Since I have continued to use the middle cord on the LHS as my filler cord and the cord on the right as my working cord it has created a nice repeating pattern within my work.
Now I will show you how to tie an alternating small diamond pattern. As I mentioned earlier this pattern uses 4 cords. I have 12 cords hanging from my dowel so I created 3 small diamonds across the top of my work.
To create an alternating diamond we will skip the first two cords on the left and tie a small diamond with the next 4 cords. Tie one more diamond with the next 4 cords.
For my third row I am going to tie one more diamond in the middle of my work to create a V shape. If you want to continue with this alternating pattern instead you can tie rows of 3 then 2 diamonds.
Another variation to this pattern would be to create an hourglass shape by tying 2 then 3 diamonds for your 4th and 5th rows.
Thanks for watching! - Навчання та стиль
You’re the best teacher ever. Thank you!
Yay finally a Canadian macrame artist!
Thank you for posting this video. I am currently working on the 2 part intermediate macrame piece you posted. My diamonds did not look the same. They didnt look bad just not the same. I will have to re-do but I'm ok with that 😍 Thank you! 😍
When I first watched the video I thought that I would never do it. Actually, it isn't that hard.
Thank you for the beautiful pattern :)
Very very very very good!
Thank you very much!
Your videos are nicely presented.. very easy to learn.. thank you...
Thank you so much for posting this extra video, I have been working on this one for days! I was almost there but couldn't get that perfect continous pattern. Now I know why. Thank you so much. Your tutorials are amazing :)
Thank you. I have a pattern that simply states diamond knot and I have been stumped. Your video resolved the problem,. Thank you so much.
just beautiful thanks
Beautiful job, thanks for sharing
Thank you for this, I used to macrame when I was a child but that's been 40 years ago and can't remember how. I've had my interest sparked recently to start macrame, hopefully it helps me with nerves...lol.
Thank you ❤️️😘🥰️👍
thank you
Thank for share
Shared and a thumbs up for sure! I am a new subscriber and love your art and the way you teach. I hope you get lots more subscribers.
Genial genial genial
Thank you !! ❤
Do have a tutorial how to calculate the length of the rope somewhere on your channel?
Hi Chantal .I love your work and you are an amazing teacher.I have a problem with single strand .It gets messy after a while .Is there anything I do wrong ?Please give me some advise .thank you
Lindo vou fazer
I appreciate that you tried to redo this tutorial, and this is just some feedback for all your videos for beginners, I'm still finding it hard to follow you, as a beginner I really need you to explain what you're doing with your hands because your hands block your work, what i mean for example, when you are using the 2 cords, I just need you to explain how you are tying the knot or slowly show where the cords are going into each other because I'm having to rewind up to 5 times just to see what you are doing, I do love your work and you have beautiful work, but that's all I ask, if you could just explain or show what you're doing with your hands 👍
You can slow down the video speed. She is essentially using double half hitch knot.
I agree. Even slowing down the video doesn't help. It is a repeating pattern and I am trying to get the logic, which slowing down only hinders as you lose sight of the pattern. If you take time with the first diamond to explain in more details, it would be so much more helpful.
With a lot of perseverence and with the help of two other videos, I finally got it and managed to complete an hourglass shape! Once you wrap your head around it, it's not that difficult, but I still think the explanation could be broken down in a better way. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for the nice pattern and making the effort to share it with us!
Agreed. So frustrating
Which other videos did you use?
Nìce thañks
This may not make sense but every time I tie a knot it wants to turn backwards. It' like I have to fight to make the knot form. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I can happen on either side and no matter how I try to tie it I have to force the knot not to turn over. I would love to know why it's doing this.
Can you make a cross stitch pattern using double half hitch knots ?
Não tem como traduzir em escrita eu não entendo sua nação muito lindo seus trabalhos
Hi, I came from 2 part video you post, on the end of my work with diamonds knots, the end of cords don't be the same, one got too much longer than others, I already did a lot of times but this always happens.
And I am very thankful for your work, your videos have the best and beautiful tutorials. (Sorry for my bad english)
❣️❣️❣️
still really hard to keep up. I get really confused when you say ”using the same cord” can’t you just say if you mean the middle one or the rear left/right 🤦🏼♀️😟
❤🌿❤🌿❤🌿❤🌿😍
I get the pattern but what I’m not picking up is when you take the filler cord behind or in front of the working cord. Are you alternating (taking one in front and one behind and then repeating)? Your hands work too fast for me to tell when you’re sticking in front vs going behind
Same.

Pardon me, but I don’t happen to catch your movements 😰. They’re fast .
You can go into the settings on the bottom right (Gear icon) and click Playback speed, it's on normal as a default. Play with those speeds to see what helps you to view it as a pace that better suits you.
Rose Kay thank you for your kind advice , I know this feature. The matter is at some moments hands cover cords, movements aren’t clear enough for me. Never mind! I learnt this technique from another tutorial . I love variety and videos of Chantal any way )
Yeah. This diamond pattern tutorial almost has brought me to tears I’m so frustrated I cannot follow it. Regardless of slowing down the speed.

Great but your hands are seriously blocking the view and the string is too thin lol
