Macrame utensil storage

On By CarynIn Craft

At my Dad’s request, I knotted a macrame utensil holder for his handmade spoons. I used yellow recycled cotton cord from RockMountainCo, and a dowel. I like the geometric pattern made by the alternating rows of square knots.

Technical details: 4mm recycled cotton cord cut into 18 pieces, 90 inches in length, attached to a 1/4 inch dowel with lark’s head knots, then tied with square knots over two core cords in alternating rows. The ends were lashed together in groups of four, then untwisted and combed into tassels.
