The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide To Making a Large Macrame Feather Wall Hanging

New to macrame? This is the ultimate pattern for you! When I first started macrame several years ago, the very first project I ever made was a macrame feather. When I looked up things to make, it seemed like a minimalistic design that didn’t require a huge commitment and long hours to create. Plus, the beautiful bohemian aesthetic of the feathers was a huge bonus. Macrame feathers are super versatile. You can make them in various sizes and use them on their own or incorporate them into larger projects. Not to mention, they are super fun to make! This feather is made with the 3 basic knots of macrame: the Lark’s Head knot, the Square knot and the Double Half Hitch knot. Once you know these 3 knots, you can make most macrame patterns you see.
