Get started
Cut 5 pieces of rope 2m long.
Fold the ropes in half and use the “larks head knot” to attach the ropes to one of the wooden rings. See video for clear instruction (01.30)
Time to make a Diagonal “Clove Hitch Knot”
The easiest way is to follow the video to understand how to tie this knot. (02.30)
The next step is to make a Macrame Knot “Right Facing Square Knot”
Step 1
Find them four ropes in the middle. So put away the three ropes along the right and left.
Then take the rope to the right of the four of them. Put the rope over the two of them in the middle and under the one on the far left.
Then take the leftmost rope for the two ropes in the middle below them and into the “loop” created by the rope on the far right.
Pull on both ends and place the knot where you want it.
Now half the knot is done.
Step 2
Now let's do the same but the other way around.
Take the left rope and overlay them on the ropes in the middle but under the rope on the far right.
Then take the right rope and put under them two ropes in the middle then into the loop created by the left rope.
Pull on both ends of the rope.
Now your macramé knot is ready

Continue with the Clove hitch knot as the video instructs
Final step
When you are done with your pattern, it is time to make a “Gathering Knot” or “Wrap Knot” as it can also be called.
This knot will hold your work together.
Thread all the remaining rope through your second ring. Fold them over the ring.
Turn your work around - will be easiest to see.
Then cut one more rope that is 50cm long.
Place one end of the rope as a loop on top of your ropes.
Then take the long end of the rope and wrap around both your loop and all the remaining rope 6 turns.
See video for clarity.
When you have reached 6 turns, you pass the end of your rope through the loop that you have created.
Then pull on both ends of the rope. Pull hard so the loop goes into what you have twisted. Then a strong knot is created that will not go up.
Then cut off all the ropes near your knot you just made.
Now your towel holder is ready to be hung up and used!
