Anleitung No. 2565 Anleitung No. 2565 Difficulty: Advanced
These fringe coasters not only look very decorative and natural, but are also very practical! With the macramé technique you can make the coasters in individual colors.
How to start
From the guide, make a loop with a short thread at one end (the remaining thread is very long in front of you). Tie each of the five threads to this loop with a lark's head knot forward. Pull on the longer side of the leading thread to make a small circle. Starting from this, there are now 11 threads in front of you. You can ignore the shorter end of the guide thread, this will simply be cut off later.
Knot by knot to macramé coaster
Fix the threads or the created circle to the nail of the cork coaster.
Use the first of the thread strands as a guide and tie the other threads to it with the knot "double half stroke", until you feel that the next working thread is too far away:
The round knot widens the distance between the guide and the next working thread. If the distance should be too large and there is an unsightly "hole", knot another additional thread to your work with the lark's head knot (you will avoid that the knotwork bulges).

Continue knotting until the next gap requires you to knot another thread. Continue working round after round according to this principle until your coaster has reached the desired size.
Now cut all the working threads to the same length. Divide the threads further into individual strands with a needle or nail, comb everything out into pretty fringes, cut your coaster - if necessary - finally into shape.
