Why you need Modern Macramé
Makers who have learned the basic knots and want bigger décor projects
Home decorators after boho wall art and handmade lighting
Gardeners who want macramé pieces for patios and balconies
Gift makers looking for coasters, jar covers and small hangings
Once you can tie a square knot without looking at the diagram, it is time to make pieces that change the feel of a room. Modern Macramé is a 116-page project book for home, garden and boho-style décor. It is intended as a second step after the beginner guide, and the introduction says so plainly: learn the basic language first, then come here to use it.
Macrame wall hanging patterns and home decorations
The home section begins with a pink dreamcatcher built on a 6.5-inch metal ring, combining wrapped string, lark's head knots and a feathered, V-trimmed fringe. The Tree of Life wall hanging is the showpiece: sixteen main cords mounted on a 19-inch ring with cow hitch knots, worked into branches and finished with fringe. You will also find macramé jar covers, a plant hanger and a round macramé coaster, all practical pieces that make good gifts.
Garden and boho projects
The garden chapter moves outdoors with a macramé candle holder, a fringe umbrella, a jar plant hanger, a macramé aluminum chair and a full hammock. These projects use longer cords and teach you to plan for scale and load. The boho décor chapter adds a lamp shade, a mirror framed with raffia and macramé, and a larger boho wall hanging that mixes textures.
Special projects
The book closes with three playful makes: a hanging cactus, a lovely jellyfish with flowing tentacles and a toy hammock sized for dolls or plush toys. They are quick, charming and a nice change of pace after the larger builds.
How the patterns are laid out
Each project starts with a materials list that gives cord thickness and exact cut lengths in both centimeters and inches, followed by numbered instructions and photos. The introduction recommends reading every step and preparing all materials before starting, and that habit pays off on the bigger pieces. Keep the PDF open on a tablet beside your work, or print the project you are tackling this week.

Frequently asked questions
Can I start with this book instead of the beginner guide?
It is better not to. The introduction specifically recommends learning from Macramé for Beginners first, because the projects here assume you already know the core knots and terminology. If you have some prior experience, you can dip in with smaller pieces such as the coaster or jar covers before attempting the hammock or chair.
What sizes of ring and cord do the projects use?
It varies by project. The dreamcatcher uses a 6.5-inch metal ring with 1.5 mm string and 3 mm cotton cord, while the Tree of Life hanging uses 4 mm single-strand cord on a 19-inch ring. Every pattern lists its own sizes and cut lengths before the instructions.
Is the hammock strong enough for an adult?
The hammock pattern is written as a full hammock project, but load safety depends on your cord, knots, hardware and mounting point. Use strong cord, check every knot, test gradually and install it with properly rated hooks. The toy hammock in the special projects chapter is a small decorative version.
