Hey guys! Last week I posted an introductory video which taught you how to incorporate colour when tying the reverse double half hitch knot (DHHK). Today I’m excited to teach you how to create a coloured diamond pattern using the reverse DHHK.
Before we get started I quickly want to remind you that I wrote a book and it is available for pre-order now! My book, entitled, Mixed Fiber Macrame, takes a new spin on macrame teaching you how to work with various fibers including ribbon, raffia, wool roving, bamboo and more! My book contains 24 projects with step by step photos and instructions ranging from macrame wall baskets, macraweaves, pillows, a rug, a chandelier, and more!
This book will be available worldwide on November 24th but pre-order is available now through a number of retailers - I’ve added all the links in the description for you!
All pre-orders will receive a bonus project!! Please email me your proof of purchase at lotsofknotsca@gmail.com and I will send the pdf of the bonus project directly to you.

Thanks again so much for your support! Okay let’s get started on today’s tutorial.
Set-up - Cut 3 pieces of 3mm natural cotton string and 2 pieces of 3mm soft fruit string, each piece is 2 meters in length. Fold each piece in half and attach to your dowel using a Lark’s Head knot. This pattern creates a diamond that is just over 2 by 2 inches in size.
To create the diamond we will need to tie our knots in a certain way to make sure either the natural or soft fruit cord is visible from the front of your work. Pay close attention to which way I am tying my knots. For instance, I use a natural coloured working cord to tie my first knot moving from right to left. Then I use another natural coloured working cord to tie my second knot moving from left to right.
This pattern will require you to tie 8 rows total. You will start with a row of 4 knots, then alternate between tying 5 then 4 knots for the remaining rows.
Repeat this pattern to tie continuous diamonds along your work.
Thanks for watching!
