Macramé necklace “Maggan”
Tie a necklace of your own in the technique of macrame.
This necklace is easy to tie and goes fast- so why not make one in all your favorite colors!
It is possible to tie this necklace in them with slightly coarser yarns- but this is exactly what I have done in Eko Braided Rope 5mm.

With two different techniques, you can make this necklace.
Begin
Start by cutting four ropes that are four meters long.
Put them ropes together. Then make a loop the same size as the width you want on your fist part at the front of the necklace. Make the loop so that you have 30cm of your laces left on the left side. It is important to save these 30cm.
If you want longer tail at back- make the laces as long as you want them.

Braid
Now let's start braiding. Make use of those long ropes.
Thread these up and down through the loop, back and forth. Try to keep the ropes wide apart when braiding to get as nice a look as possible.

Thread the ropes up and down back and forth until you've covered your entire loop. Tighten tight.
Closing
Now we will assemble the necklace at the back using a knot called “gathering knot”
Place the ropes from both sides of the necklace on each other, this is when you create the length of the necklace you want.
Then cut a new length with rope that is 40cm long.
Make a loop at one end of your new rope; place it on the middle back of your necklace.
Take the long end and wrap around all the ropes, including the loop- 6 turns. Then you take the long end of the rope through the loop. Then grab both ends and pull tight until the loop has slipped into the knot.

Then cut off all the ends near your “gathering knot”
Finished!
Enjoy your new necklace!
