macrame
Decorative cord knotting
Macramé is a craft of knotting cords or strings into decorative patterns, used to make plant hangers, wall hangings, jewelry, and other ornamental items.
The technique uses various knots—square knots, half hitches, spiral knots—repeated to create geometric designs.
She learned macramé to make friendship bracelets.
The craft enjoyed peak popularity in the 1970s and has seen periodic revivals.
