You could also use four cords and start the Square
Knots at the center, without folding the cords.
Portuguese Sennit
The Portuguese Sennit is a chain of Square knots
tied around a loop. It's often called the Solomon
Bar.
Both the front and back look nice, so this knot could
be used to make a Macrame belt that's reversible. The
image above shows the front of the knot. The images
below show the back.
Alternating Half
Hitch
The Alternating Half Hitch is tied to form a chain, also
called a sennit (or sinnet).
In the example shown here, one cord holds the knot and
the other one is used to tie the Half Hitch. Then you
alternate.
In some vintage patterns, the name of this knot is the
Chain Stitch. In more modern texts, this design is
sometimes called the Zigzag Braid.
Cockscomb Knot
The Cockscomb knot, also know as Ringbolt Hitching,
is an interesting decorative knot seldom used in
Macrame.
The primary knots used are Half Hitches, but they are
arranged in a unique way. The front of the knot will
stand up above the surface of the dowel.
Square Knots
The Square Knot (SK) is the most
important decorative knot you will learn to
tie. Most Macrame patterns use it in one
form or another, so it's essential that you
learn to tie it easily in both directions.
Alternating Square
Knots
Alternating Square Knots (ASK) create a net-like
pattern seen in many Macrame projects.
