Material list

The knotted hanging light is a decorative highlight in any home. It is equipped with LED tea lights and is a great eye-catcher on the wall. But it also works great as a hanging room divider. You can get all the materials used for this idea in our online store.

Have fun with knotting!

Grundlage für diese Idee sind neben einem Buchenrundstab für die Aufhängung Makramee Garn, Holzoliven und zwei Teelichtgläser, die später mit den Teelichtern bestückt werden.

Preparation

It is useful to select in advance the place in your home where the pendant lamp will later find its place. Measure the required space and saw the beech round bar to the desired length, at least 45 cm (our decoration example was created with a round bar in 65 cm length). For the neat finish of the round bar, process the sawed-off end with sandpaper.

Attach the beech round bar to a hanger so that you can comfortably tie knots on it....

Knotting

There are several macramé techniques used in this idea. All knots are explained in detail in our basic macramé tutorial. Download best the step-by-step photo instructions from here. Our description is for knotting one light strand at a time.

You will need 10 ribbons of cotton cord, each 3 meters long, for the knotting. Now take each ribbon twice and tie it with the lark's head knot forward to the round bar.

Knot triangle pattern

Maak nu een "vierkante knoop - naar links gedraaid" in de eerste rij met de linten door.
Ga verder met deze knoop, waarbij de eerste twee en de laatste twee banden van de 2e rij worden weggelaten.
In de 3e rij, 4 banden aan elke kant weglaten,
In de 4e rij telkens 6 linten, zodat visueel een driehoek wordt geknoopt en in de laatste rij worden alleen de middelste linten in een vierkante knoop geknoopt - naar links gekeerd.
Maak nu een rij "diagonale ribknopen" langs de driehoek.

Wooden olives, center knot, tealight holder and decorative fringe...

Then on individual ribbons can be drawn wooden olives. This is followed by another row of rib knots.

Now tie the strands together a little further below your knotting with a winding knot (middle knot of the light strand).

After some time, start tying 2 - 3 rows of staggered square knots: Tie them so that they form a trough for a tea light jar, finally tie all the strands together with a winding knot (this is also the fixation for the tea light jar).

Pull the rest of the ribbons apart to form fringes, comb them up if necessary and "style" the ends with scissors.

The second strand of the pendant lamp is created in the same way, but you can vary the height of each strand of light by setting the middle winding knot at different heights.
