Double Hitch Bracelet

Description: The Double
Hitch Bracelet features the
Alternating Half Hitch.
This basic jewelry design is made with leather
or a waxed material, so the knots hold their
shape.
This Macrame bracelet has a loop at one end,
with a button at the opposite end, for the
closure.
Janne Pedersen sent in the suggestion for this
project.

| Supplies

|
| |
|
Step 1: Cut two cords,
each at least 72
inches long (up to 8 inches).
Unless you are using leather, prepare the ends
with tape, glue, or wax to prevent unraveling.
Make sure to use the Cross
Pin Technique (or tape), when using
Leather, Satin, or other types of delicate
cord.
Step 2: Fold both cords in
half, and secure them to your project board
vertically, so the ends are even.
The
two cords will act together as if they were a
single cord.
|
| |
|
| |
| Step 3:
Leave a space large enough for the button to pass
through, between the fold and the first knot. |
|
| |
|
|
To make the first Half Hitch, use the right
half of the cords. Pass
them over
- under the two on
the left,
in a clockwise
direction.
Pass over
the right
half as you pull them to the right.
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Step 4: Tie
the next Half Hitch with the left
half of the cords, rotating in
a counter-clockwise
direction.
This Half Hitch is made the same way, over
- under the cords on the right.
As you pull to the left,
pass over
the left half of the cords.
|
|
| |
|
|
Step 5:
Repeat steps 3 and 4, alternating back
and forth between the two sets of cords.
Stop when the Double Hitch Bracelet is the size
you need. |
|
|
|
|
|
Step 6: Secure
the Double Hitch bracelet to the board,
so
the last knot
cannot
move.
Flip
over the bracelet
and position
the button so the shank is facing
up.
Pass
the two ends on the right
through the button, right
to left.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Slide the left
ends through the shank
left to
right (opposite
direction). |
|
|
|
| |
|
<<
Choose one cord from each half and tie an
Overhand knot.
Add glue near the shank, and tighten it
firmly.
Do the same with the other two
cords. >>
|
|
|
|
|
|
| You can add more glue to the top of the knots if
you wish. When the glue is completely dry, cut off
the excess material. |
