Let’s have fun together!
Materials Needed:
- Hemptique hemp cord #48 (1.8mm) in color burgundy and natural (cut 2 x 5 feet, 4 x 10 feet, and 1 x 2 feet)
- Keychain ring
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle (optional)
Let’s get started with this practical and beautiful macrame wristlet keychain tutorial:
1) Start with a 2 x 5 feet string in natural color and fold it evenly in half. Attach it to the ring with a lark’s head knot.
2) Take the 4 x 10 feet cord in a burgundy color and also attach it to the ring with a lark's head knot. Make sure the natural color string stays in the middle while 2 burgundy strings are attached to the right and 2 to the left.
3) Now we are going to tie the longer burgundy cords around the two shorter ones in the middle with a square knot.
4) We will start by tying the half square knot to lock the 6 lark’s head knots in place.
5) Take the two right cords and put them over the two cords in the middle to form a loop. The group on the left goes over the right group, behind the two in the middle, and through the loop on the right. Pull the ends to tighten up the half square knot.
6) Move down about an inch to make space and tie another half square knot – start from the right, and put the cords in the front of the middle ones to make a loop. The left cords go over the ones in the right, behind the two in the middle, and through the loop. Pull it tight, just ensure you leave the inch space. The half square knot is now done.
7) We are going to finish our full square knot – this time, we are taking the side on the left, crossing over the cords in the middle to form a loop, and the side on the right goes over the left cords, behind the group in the middle, and through the loop on the left. Pull it nice and tight. That is the full square knot.
8) Repeat the same process until you make 22 square knots, so you get a long chain. The total length is around 12 inches long from the top of the ring until the last square knot.
9) Take the keychain and fold it upwards. Send all the loose ends through the keychain ring. Keep it a little loose, so that ends match up.
10) We are going to secure the gap space below the ring with a gathering knot. We will lock everything in place.
11) Take the smallest piece of the hemp cord and make a loop on one end – you will get a short end on one side and a longer end on another side.
12) Place the cord on top of the cords you want to secure. Loop is going to hang below, and the tail is going to stick up.
13) Take the longer end of the cord and start wrapping it around the cords. As you wrap, make sure it is fairly tight.
14) When you fill the gap, stick the long cord right through the loop we left. Take the short tail that is sticking and give it a nice, gentle pull to put the knotted section through the gathering part.
15) Take the long and the short end and pull on them together to tighten the knot.
16) Now we are going to smooth out all the cords that go through the ring by gently pulling on each individual cord until it looks neat.
17) Take a pair of scissors and trim all the remaining ends. To make it as neat as possible, take the needle and push those pieces back through the gathering knot, so they stay hidden.
18) The easy macrame keychain for the wristlet is now finished.

Why is Hemp Cord Excellent for Macrame?
Hemp cord is made of the bast fiber (or outer bark) of the hemp plant. It is grown organically, so there is no need for pesticides and fertilizer usage. Hemp fibers are naturally strong, durable, and resistant to UV light, mold, and mildew. It is completely biodegradable, which is a great alternative to synthetic products like nylon or polyester.
As hemp cord performs excellently in jewelry making, it is a very popular choice in crafting. Moreover, it makes attractive and very firm knots. The fiber is round in nature, so it is easy to work with and does not cut hands while handling it. It can be used in many exciting ways in all sorts of projects and crafts.
The most common size for jewelry making is #20 size (approximately 1mm in diameter) and #48 (1.8 mm in diameter). The “#” refers to pounds, which indicates that the cord has the test strength of holding 20 or 48 pounds before it will weaken and eventually break.
