• one metal mesh patio table • synthetic yarn  • sharp scissors • measuring tape • fabric steamer (optional)

SUPPLIES NEEDED

Fold cut strands of macrame yarn in half and loop them onto the table edge with Lark’s Head Knots.

STEP 1

Knot a row of Square Knots and after that you have to offset the simple knots in the following rows so you can create a pyramid shape.

STEP 2

Now it is time for Diagonal Clove Hitch knots on each side of the  little macrame triangle/pyramid. Use the outside pieces of yarn on each  side as the lead string.

STEP 3

Tie the end strings together with a short piece of cord. I  wrapped the cord around a couple of times before knotting it in the  back and cutting off the ends.

STEP 4

Add fringe to the long sides of the table with more rows of Lark's Head Knot strands that  get knotted into Square Knot rows.

STEP 5

If you are looking for a unique way to update your metal patio furniture then this is the tutorial for you. I love how it looks with the rest of our outdoor furniture.
