hi everyone that doing this project and run out of cords, please watch our tutorial closely as I saw some of your creation and the reason you ran out of cords because you started the square knots at the bottom too close to the top so not enough cords, we just need a few rounds of square knots for the bottom so if you dont leave enough space between the top and bottom parts then you end up having too many rounds of square knots then not enough cords for sure, hope that helps
Do we need to cut 2.5m or 5m of cord at the very beginning?
It is not the solution. Using 5 meter of ropes is the only solution. I make half of the pattern and less square knot but unfortunately not enough cords though. I have to untie all the chords now and I don't know what to make these 2.5 meter ones!
@S Taylor 16 meter per cord?
That is soooo NOT the issue.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. Love your design. Thanks to all those who commented on the issues they ran into in making tha hammock as I will be keeping that in mind when making my hammock for our 15lb cat. I will definitely need a larger hammock and longer cords respectively. God bless.❤️
After many people here had the same experience that the length specifications could not be correct: I took at least twice the length on the second attempt. So it worked: It's a little bigger and I've added two narrower rows at the bottom so that the weight is borne by the macrame and not just by the bottom cord.
I took: Cordsize 3mm
32 x 5m (=160m)
4 x 4m (=16m) (for the side cords)
2 x 6m (=12m) (for the middle cord)
30 x 0,5m (=15m) (for the cords themselves)
8 x 1,5m (=12m) (they are added to the lower braid)
(total: 215m)
(instead of: 32x2,5m + 6x1,5m + 30x0,5m + 8x1m = 112m)
Thanks You For the tip...but i have one question: You said 5 different Cord lengthes, but down below there are Only 4 called lengthes?
Instead of 6x1,5m for the three cords you should take 4x4m and 2x6m (the middle one is longer...).
I have now 9mm Cord....is that also.possible.to make this cat swing?
@@DeLisZiouS I do not think so. I don't know how to convert that for yarn that thick.
Essas medidas que vc passou deu certo, grata 😂
I’m in the middle of this project and find myself out of rope in the middle of it. I used conversion from metric to US {which I’ve done before with no issues} so not sure if this was the problem but not a happy camper right now! I’m a very experienced macrame artist and found this tutorial hard to follow. If you are not able to follow along visually or not very experienced, I would not attempt! I recommend watching the tutorial to completion then decide if this project is for you before you waste rope. I actually had to Frankenstein my project with this just so I could finish it. Learned a HUGE lesson here.
For this you'll need:
32 ropes of 250cm / 2.5m / 98.43 inch / 2.73 yards.
6 ropes of 150cm / 1.5m / 59.05 inch / 1.64 yards.
30 ropes of 50cm / 0.5m / 19.69 inch / 0.55 yards.
8 ropes of 100cm / 1m / 39.37 inch / 1.09 yards.
In total: 11,200cm / 112m / 4,409.72 inch / 122.48 yards of rope.
I think these all needed to be doubled.. as the 50cm becomes 25cm when you hang it as it halves?
Are the ropes 5mm?
Thanks
@@lindamera2174It says 3mm cord at 00:21. I didn't catch that at first, and found out the hard way - i tried it in 5 mm cord, and soon realized that i didn't have nearly enough length to even get the first part done! Good luck!
@@judyupnorth59 thank you! I will try to do this 🙏🏼
Boa tarde amiga, lindíssima essa peça de cama para gatos. Tenho muita vontade de fazer. Gratidão
This video teaches me one thing. It is that read the comments before making the things in video. I ran out of my ropes and what should I do now? It can't be a cat hammock. I think ropes should be 5 meter not 2.5 meters. It is not hard to say its right dimensions.
как хорошо что есть такие люди которые думают о животны❤
I have no more words, you read me in thought. Just last night I was talking to my daughter about these cat kennels !!! Thanks, great tutorial !!!😊🙀🌹
I love to Macrame!
this was surprisingly therapeutic and pleasant to listen to, and to watch. Thanks, and looks great!
I've made this twice now. It's beautiful, but just a heads up that you'll probably run out of yarn with these measures... I'd add an extra meter.
Extra meter to all sets of strings?
@@leizygatos7139 yes, I'd say an extra meter to all strings.
Kim Lane thanks for your reply! Very helpful!
Does your cat stay in this ? I am planning to make one for mine but I doubt whether she would like it or not .
@@kanikapandey7240 I made this for someone else's cat, and yes the cat loves it!
Thank you for this tutorial! Lovely design! 😍
Thank you and much love to the commenters here giving us heads up re the cord length adjustments, so helpful!
Looking forward to make this! My second try at macrame ♥️
if your knots are still quite loose please add some length of cords.
heloooo
Hermoso❤
Love all your work. Saving all your videos, so when I move I can get started on some of these projects. Thank you!
I had to look it up it is 102 yards,, thank you and I’m making this
خیلی زیباست
Very nice...thank you !!!
Muito lindoooo!
Parabéns pelo trabalho! Excelente explicação!
Obrigada por compartilhar!
👏 👏 👏 👏 😚 😍 BR ❤
Não agradeça, as medidas dos fios estão errados. Estraguei muito cordão e meu tempo fazendo.c conforme ela listou no vídeo e deu tudo errado, as medidas estão erradas, estou mt chateada...
Щ
Really love your work but as many have commented, adding the sliders really is hard to figure out even at slow speed. Have you done a video using different colored cord for the sliders (or for each row) to see exactly how it’s being done?
👍 Lovely! New project...
i would love to make this for a bigger cat, how much do I have to add to the cirds
Thank you very much, I will beautiful gifts. Merci beaucoup
Beautiful. But measures wrong and the end of the tutorial is not very clear. Result: wasted nearly one hundred meter rope on a project that can’t be finished 🙄
hola nueva seguidora me encanta tu trabajo me gustaría que tus videos tuvieran traducción al español gracias
Love this! I have a huge cat, can I add some extra cords to make the basket part bigger? How many to have even sections?
you can simply follow the instructions from 15.45 and then, instead of 5 rows, do several of them the same way. so for each abbey, one left and one right. so that you don't run out of yarn, i would simply make 4 meters (or more) by 32 at the beginning. but in my case, a 35 by 35 cm pillow also fitted in without an extension.
Gina Bittner Thank you!!
Is there any way you can clarify or provide more clear instructions at the 15:50 mark? It's very difficult to understand what's going on with all the strings moving around so quickly and not knowing where they are attached.
hi, if you follow along when watching this video you will find it very easy. Basically from 15:50 you just do square knot every 4 cords, make a round for it then continue next round of square knots to make a net
at 16:42, I have two cords left over? where do they go. I am so confused. If I just think of one section of the cords with 16 cords each, I add one new cord with the box knot. Then only use the two ends of that plus two new cords from that section of the cord. So for my first box not I use 3 of the cords. 16-3 = 13. The last two cords go on to connect to the next pattern. So, I have 11 cords divided by four that leaves me with one extra cord for the two end patterns? what do they connect to?
I just made this and it came out great...but please please please add extra length to your cords, otherwise you won't have enough in the central sections (where most of the knotting is done).... I had to join cord and hide with beads because I ran out 🙏😊🥰🐱
How many meters per cord please?
Thanks for your suggestion because I'm also going to start it, I was measuring cords 🙏😊
Dealing with that right now lol
That is beautiful! I did to myself too
Hi did u use the bigger thread to do it- please share ur wrk thnq
What a brilliant idea! Thank you.
great idea 2006
👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩
I love these!
When I started the square nots on the bottom I ran out of cord completely. The length for the cord is definitely wrong. Do you have any advice to add more length on the bottom, so I can finish the swing bed somehow ?
Thanks!
I added by splicing together and then I inserted some beads (symmetrically) to hide the joins...It worked really well.
Hi, did u used these two ropes -that left after doing the firnges - to do the bottom area or they hang loosely?
I love your idea.But I have tried it and the lengh 2.5m of each cord wasn't enought. Also I have some problems in the bag part. You begin it adding a cord in the firs cord to the left and leave one cord free and start the square knots. And when you arrive to the end you have 3 cords free, but i have only one. So i don't understand how you made. Please, would you give me some detail instrucction?Thank you very much
I have the same problem. Did you figure it out ?!!
Misericórdia.
Essa cama de gato, está mais para um balaio de gato, lendo os comentários não me atrevo a fazer, muitas dúvidas. 😮😮😮
Hermoso trabajo, gracias por compartir 😊
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
What is the size of the cord you are using.
Oh I wish I would have read all the comments on the cord length being too short. I had the same issue partly my fault as I used 4mm rather than 3mm but clearly the cord that is being presented is a thinner and more silky thread making it easier to knot. My cord is a more cotton cord which will be harder to make a tight clean knot. The directions should increase the lengths in the center section as well since there is more details. I will attempt to remake but will cut a much longer cord length along with the center pattern.
Update, redid this with much longer cords, especially in the center where there is more knotting. 4 to 5 meters is more realistic. Also, for the 3 center square knots have the center yarns shorter as they don't get used much.
Beautiful 😍
👋👋👋Lindo!!! Lindo!!!!!
To attach the fringe, use the gatheringknot.....
👍👍👍
hi I want to do this and I've read in the comments about doubling the length of rope,, what are the actual measurements?
Boa Tarde adorei ,lindo demais por favor converte a medida para aqui no Brasil.
How long is the dowel?
what size rope is used (3mmor 5mm)?
Can I use 5 mm cord?
Super 🥰🥰🥰
I ran out of cord! :(
It the part at 15:50 do I add one on each side then do another row one on each side?
Me 1 minute in ....Naw it’s actually worth the money to just buy it made 🤣
🌷🌷🌷
beautiful
Me gustaría q hiciera un tutorial de columpio para bebé en macrame.
How long is the dowel rod at the top?
32 linhas ou mais? parece que tem mais de 32
Hello everyone, i would try to make this cat swing....but i use ropes (9mm thick!) Is that possible and must i hold on to the same lengthes? Greets from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🙋🏻♀️
hoe dikker je draad hoe meer je nodig hebt ormaal genomen
beautiful.
Can i make this for humans too of i make it bigger?
Lindo amei parabéns. Pais Brazil.
May i ask who’s music this is, I love it
Hermosa
What is the length of wooden rod
What does insert a rope each 4 sider mean
How many meters do you cut the rope
Would this work on pillow that's 40cm x 40cm, but looks quite the same?
it should be ok 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Me encanta tratare de hacerla
Amei parabéns
Aguenta uma pessoa de quantos quilos?
Es wäre hilfreich, wenn man den ersten Knoten einer Reihe langsam sehen würde und ohne die Hände davor...
Hi can i use thicker thread too???
It’s nice but you should explain it’s really hard to know what you’re doing
32 linhas ou mais? parece que tem mais..rss
Amazing work ❤️ Do you have tutorial for hammock chair? 🙏🏻
I think you can just increase everything including the wood size and the rope size by 2.
Qual o valo dessa cama de gato?
Bello me lo haré gracias
I'm so confused. I've been following along,and have cut the lengths as specified,why is the middle cords so much shorter??? I started the tassles and after cutting all the cord,they are also too short. Anyone else have this problem?
I did. I've made 2 now and had to dramatically increase the lengths. I'd recommend starting with 5m lengths for the 32 cords.
For the 6 spiralled cords as the outside threads become working cords at the bottom you need 3m each hanging at roughly 2.5 and 50cm.
Finally for the 8 x 1m I used 1.5m and it's actually 10 cords that you need.
I really hope this helps as it makes such a beautiful hammock once completed!
Imogen Davey thank you!! This will be only my second project so I hope it’ll turn out ok.. (I didn’t really understand what you meant by the 2.5 50 cm hanging thing, but I’ll wing it hehe
@@shikmalagbas9721 I mean you don't hang it evenly. With the longer lengths you'll make sure they're even at the bottom. You need shorter lengths in the middle and longer on the outside for those. Good luck with it!
Imogen Davey thanksss!!♥️
@@1mog3n empecé con las medidas del vídeo y al terminar el tejido de arriba me di cuenta que está muy corto, volveré a empezar con tus medidas, ojalá que me quede bien porque me dió muchas tristeza perder el trabajo inicial....si me queda bien te lo agradeceré!
Love the this but I am bit confused when adding side cords because I am not ending row with 3 left over only one can you explain why thank you
I have the same problem, funky maths going on..
Figured it out. Around 15:20 you can see 2 longer lengths from the fringes. These are used later
@@irinawu5648 thanks for this .. although my fringe lengths even though I made longer were no where near as long as the rest..that made it tricky as I had to add on.. and wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do. So the long lengths really need to be much longer than stated.
I just wasted soooo much cord because I didn’t read the comments before doing this entire thing start to finish, just to realize the measurements listed are very off :/ so frustrating, will have to find another thing to make with all this pre-cut cord
When u attatch the 1,5m ropes for the "square knot" it is a spiral knot u do. Not the square as is said on the screen.
Do u mean that the first ropes are a 5m rope, than while attatching with the larkshead knot become 2,5m??
I’ve tried but I can’t seem to follow you very easily, you’re fast and if I try to stop the video to see what you’re doing it turns gray…do you happen to have a tutorial?
Watch it at half speed
esta genial, pero muy rapido
If you wanted the bed to be a bit bigger how would you go about doing that?
I have the same question! I have large cats: they're 14 to 16lbs!
How are we supposed to now what your doing if your hands are in the way
Know
I don't understand add 4 ropes on each Side. Someone can help me?
How many meters of string has been used? :)
Qual o tamanho das cordas? Grata
En español cuantos cuerdas necesito y los tamaños por favor!!
You lost me when you started to ad ropes at: 15:50
yes its hard to get it after the fringe, the adding part.
Urgh!😩. me too . I wanted to make this so much but hands are too quick for the basket part.
@@Macsinvideo you can slow the video down
@@Meet_meatthekiosk I never knew that ..learn something new everyday..I will now learn how to do this ,THANK YOU SOOO MUCH❤️
@@Macsinvideo tap on the video and 3 dots will show up in the right hand corner, tap on them and there is an option to change the speed of the video
On the first row of squares not… I’m left with 5 strings at the end, not 3 like the video shows. I did a square knot every 4 strings. What did I do wrong?
I have the same Problem! What did you do?
💞🌿
Pillow measures?
Linda!!!!!
👍🥰😍😍😘
Does anyone could let me know, if specs are correct? How long strings should be to be sure that the length will be enough? And what about string thickness? 3mm? 5mm?
3mm says at 0:21
I would definitely go longer then what is called for. I cut it exactly what the video called for and now my middle is much shorter. You could add on but it's not looking as clean.
@@krissie5602 wish i had read the comments before starting.. I couldnt get 3mm cord so used 5mm and made them a little longer but I'm having to add cord all through the middle.
Dommage qu'il y a pas de traduction en français
The laces didn't fit At the same height would be good better view in the video
I want. Hamok. For. Saplay
That is not enough length!! Measurements are wrong!
