Macramé: A Golden hands pattern book

by Random House

Macrame, the wonderful art of knotting, is an ancient craft that apparently originated in the Middle East. It achieved great popularity in our part of the world in Victorian times. It was in the 1970's, though, that macrame came into its own. Taken up first by young people who made string belts and necklaces, the "macrame look" soon spread all over America and has become one of our favorite styles. Now, for the first time, the Golden Hands flair and expertise are brought to this craft to produce fifty attractive designs. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, you can, with this book, make beautiful clothes and beautiful fashions for the home. Every design is shown in a full-color photograph, with clear and complete separate instructions and diagrams. A crash course at the back of the book describes all the techniques you will need. With a work board, some string and a pair of hands you will very quickly be working on your favorite pattern.
