Macrame Wallhanger Bora-Bora by Elma Pluim

What is Being Made

The Macrame Wallhanger Bora-Bora is a decorative wall hanging created using macrame knotting techniques. This piece combines natural fiber cord work to produce an elegant home décor item suitable for adding texture and visual interest to interior spaces.

Craft and Technique Overview

This project uses macrame, an ancient fiber art technique that creates patterns and textures through systematic knotting rather than weaving or crocheting. Macrame is ideal for beginners because the fundamental knots are straightforward to learn and execute, making this beginner-level project accessible to crafters new to the technique.

Macrame Knots and Stitches Used

The Bora-Bora wallhanger employs several essential macrame knots:

• Clove Hitch Knot – worked in both left and right directions to create vertical lines and directional pattern variation
• Larks Head Knot – used as the foundational attachment knot to secure cord to the hanging rod

These knots are repeated and combined to build the overall pattern structure. The directional variation of the clove hitch knots (left and right orientations) creates visual movement and dimensional texture throughout the design.

Materials Required

This pattern is designed for use with Hoooked Spesso Eco Barbante chunky cotton yarn, a sustainable, eco-friendly material. Specific material requirements include:

• Hoooked Spesso Almond – 1 skein of 500g
• Hoooked Spesso Pine – ½ skein of 500g
• Wooden rod measuring 35cm in length (for hanging)
• Scissors for cord trimming
• Measuring tape for accurate spacing

The chunky cotton barbante cord provides excellent structure and drape for macrame work, while the two-color combination of Almond and Pine creates visual contrast and design interest.

Difficulty Level

This project is rated as beginner-friendly, making it an excellent introduction to macrame for crafters of all ages and experience levels.
