My fingers hurt

I'd forgotten how hard I have to pull when using twine for macrame. Good thing this belt only has square knots at the start and at the end. The body is braided. Phew!

Make your own with 2 D-rings, twine and beads.

Cut 6 strings about twice the actual length you want.

Tie to the D-rings using a lark's head knot.

Tie square knots with 2 strands in the middle so you have 3 at the start. Leave 2 strings at each side and tie 2 square knots. Alternate this for about 5cm then braid.

Braiding ends when desired length is reached and then you have the alternating square knots again.

At this point, I left a stretch of about 5cm of unknotted string. This is so that there won't be bulk at the D-rings when the belt is worn.

Alternate square knots again then add beads. Secure with overhand knots.

Have a blessed day!
