Frivolité Knot for Micro Macrame: Practical Applications
The Frivolité Knot, also known as the tatting knot, is a fundamental element used in the craft of tatting, a technique for handcrafting lace from a series of knots and loops. This knot is essential for creating the intricate and delicate lace patterns that characterize tatting work.
It can also be adapted for micro macrame. Here's how to tie it:
Frivolité Knot
Bring the working end over the anchor thread and then back under it to create a loop.
Pull the working end through the loop to form the first half of the Frivolité Knot.
Bring the working end under the anchor thread and then back over it to create another loop.
Pull the working end through the loop to form the second half of the knot.
Repeat this process for as many knots as your pattern requires.
The Frivolité Knot, while not widely popular in micro macrame, can be very useful for decorative elements, especially for creating curves.
Practical Applications:
Note the Patterning: In both cases, this specific knot, separated by beads, was used to create the rounded edges.
Adapting Tatting Patterns: Using this knot, it is possible to create intricate patterns based on traditional tatting designs.
