The macrame technique arose a very long time ago, it was mastered back in those days when a person only learned to spin and knit knots. With the advent of weaving, they forgot about macrame, and then they remembered it again and already perceived it as a new type of needlework. Many mistakenly believe that macrame is a purely feminine type of needlework, because macrame is simply irreplaceable in the maritime business. Rigging, ladders, hammocks, mats and many other ship's gear... sailors have to learn the weaving of many knots, without thinking that they master the ancient macrame - one of the most favorite types of needlework for many craftswomen.
Since we are talking about men, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the photo tutorial on weaving a men's belt for trousers.

In this way, you can weave a belt from a cord of the desired color.
So let's get started!
We pass a couple more cords.
And we start weaving.
It turns out an interesting drawing.
Weave to the desired length.
Another belt made using the macrame technique:
The macrame technique lends itself to a variety of things and items of clothing. In this master class, we will tell you how to weave using a macrame belt, the weaving patterns of which are presented below.
For such a belt, you will need a cord of the appropriate thickness and color, as well as a ready-made buckle that has a “hook” mechanism.
The width of the product will be twelve working threads. Previously, for a macrame belt, you should take six ropes, the length of which will be four times longer than the length of the finished product. Working threads are fixed on one of the parts of the buckle in two additions. Thus, twelve threads are involved in the work.
Weaving begins on the left side, using the first four threads in the work. Two of them will be central, and two side ones will be workers, which perform a knot around the central ones. For the main knot, make a loop from the right thread and thread the left thread into it, as shown in the photo.
For a full knot, make another loop, but from the left thread and thread the right side thread into it. Thus, a complete knot is obtained from two half knots.
In a similar way, we braid the next two middle threads.
Since there are only twelve working threads, a belt with a width of three knots is obtained.
Weaving should be continued, knitting the same knots. The only difference is that in each row they will be offset, for which, in the second row, the two leftmost threads should be left inactive. The result is an arrangement of knots in a checkerboard pattern. In the second row, only two full knots will fit on the width of the product.
In the third row of knots there will be three again.
Unused side threads of even rows will form a beautiful edge.
The art of weaving knots in Slavic culture was equated with pagan rites, because amulets and charms were made using this technique. In our time macrame art has become not only fashionable, but also a practical hobby. Modern craftsmen combine weaving with decor from beads, rhinestones and semi-precious stones. Let's try and master this interesting technique on our own.
How to make macrame according to weaving patterns
Acquaintance with patterns of weaving macrame for beginners
Weaving in the technique of nodular weaving is possible not only for panels and hammocks. Craftswomen create earrings, necklaces, belts and lace to decorate clothing items.

Knots and schemes for weaving macrame for beginners
A single flat knot consists of one loop. How to do this can be seen in the diagram.
A double flat knot is used for weaving - floss baubles - or other types of threads. Pay attention to the weaving sequence: each next knot must be a mirror image of the previous one. Otherwise, the resulting flat thread will begin to twist in a spiral.
From square knots, you can weave a rhombus, as shown in the diagram.
The number of nodes is measured in tens. We will look at the basic techniques with the corresponding schemes.
Knot chain.
Knot "chameleon".
Knot "tatting".

Write how you liked the idea of weaving original macrame jewelry? We will be glad to any comments.
Agree, it's nice to have beautiful and exclusive things and it's really not difficult to make them with your own hands. And today I'll show you how to weave an elegant macrame belt.
Materials:
- Buckle
- Threads
- Pillow for weaving
- English pins
Let's start:
On the crossbar of the buckle we hang threads 7 meters long - 8 pieces, if the buckle is wide, then you can hang the threads in an extended way.
We turn the left thread to the right - this is the warp thread. On it we weave rep knots with all other threads.
Next weave 4 square knots. And now weave a square knot of 4 middle threads.
On each side of the belt 2, we skip the extreme threads and weave from the edge to the center 3 rows of diagonal brids without intertwining them in the middle.
As you remember, on our sides 2 extreme threads are not touched and it's time to weave a single knotted chain with them (5 knots are enough).
Weave 2 square knots in the middle with central threads.
And now we turn the extreme working threads to the center and weave 3 rows of diagonal brids.
In the middle we weave 2 square knots (threads from the brid and from the previous square knots).
In the middle we weave two square knots (one under the other).
We skip 2 extreme threads on both sides and weave 3 rows of diagonal brid from the center to the edge.
Weave square knots in the middle: 1, 2, 1. And then weave two more square knots.
On the sides weave a nodular chain of 5 knots.
Now weave 1 square knot with extreme threads on each side.
We skip 2 extreme threads on both sides, weave diagonal brids - 3 rows to the center on both sides.
In the middle we make 2 square knots, on the sides a knot chain of 5 knots.
As you already understood, our pattern is repeated, and according to this principle, we weave the belt to the desired length.
It remains only to decide how to finish the weaving of the belt. And we will do it this way: weave 3 rows of diagonal brids from the edge to the center on both sides. And the fourth row, the last one, will be special. The technique that we will use is called a clean edge. While weaving the diagonal brid, we cut the threads, at the end we should have 4 threads left, with which we will weave a square knot in the middle.
We cut the threads and glue them on the back of the belt.
This completes the weaving of the belt, and you have a very fashionable and exclusive little thing.
