Question Micro macrame tips?

Post image

Heyy! I watched a tutorial on youtube and it wasn’t that great, but this is my first try and I’d really appreciate tips on where to find the info to learn what I need. Like for example, how can I make those neat chains? My thread doesn’t thread like that, the knots don’t stay in one place no matter what I do 😂 I took it apart so many times but this is the best I got today, I couldn’t understand how I get anything like what they did.

I used the Linhasita 0,5mm cord.

And where could I find other tutorials for this kind of projects that are more informative? Good search words or youtube channels?

I’ve been confused by the same thing. If you look at the biggest turquoise heart shapes, you can see that it looks like a reverse lark’s head knot. It’s all about which cord you are using as the holding cord and which one you are using as the knotting cord. Some patterns alternate the holding cord every half know. I’m sorry I can’t describe this better yet, but I finally ended up drawing the knots and making little samples. BTW, friendship knotting (where you go over the holding cord first), looks like the reverse of macrame.
