Book "The little big book of macramé"

Author: Marie-Nöelie Bayard
Language: Spanish

This small compendium will guide you in learning macramé. This book describes each knot step by step, considering the colors and the cords to be used. You will also find the art and method of creating stripes, weaves, and braids.

The little big book of macramé contains everything you always wanted to know about macramé: from cutting the cords, making a vertical or picot mount, to changing colors, making a lark's head knot, a Joséphine or a frivolité, creating a double horizontal fringe, making a braid of 4 or 8 cords, crafting a square braid escubidú...

It is divided into five chapters: before starting; the basic knots; braids; principles and finishes; and finally a knot table. The first chapter presents the tools and materials needed. The second, third, and fourth chapters show two to six illustrations per design with arrows indicating the paths the cords should take. All illustrations are accompanied by texts. The knot table gathers fifty-six of the finished designs that appear in the previous chapters.
