Macramé is a versatile crafting technique that uses knotting rather than weaving or knitting to create decorative textiles like wall hangings, plant hangers, and jewelry. It typically uses cotton cord, featuring knots like the square knot and half hitches to form intricate patterns. Popular for modern boho decor, it is easily learned by beginners.

Essential Materials: Primarily cotton cord (single-strand, 3-ply, or braided) and a mounting base like a wooden dowel or driftwood.
Basic Knots to Learn: The Lark’s Head Knot (for mounting), Square Knot, and Double Half Hitch Knot.
Wall hangings, plant hangers, keychains, and accessories.
Definition & Origin: The term derives from the Arabic word (meaning ornamental fringe or veil) or the Turkish makrama (towel or napkin). It is a traditional craft with roots in 13th-century Arab weaving.
