It's is recommended that you practice making square knots before you start making the actual fishbone hemp DIY jewelry craft tutorial .

Step 1 for creating fishbone hemp DIY jewelry craft tutorial is measuring our hemp. We will need four strands.

Now the knots are the same for necklaces, chokers, bracelets and anklets. The only difference between a necklace and a bracelet is the length of the cord that you will use. Obviously you will use longer cords for a necklace than you would for a bracelet, choker or anklet.

For a fishbone hemp necklace or choker you will need 3 strands about 128 inches in length and 1 strand that is 32 inches in length.

Their is just one slight variation. A standard flat macrame hemp jewelry design uses 1 set of knotting cords a fishbone macrame hemp jewelry design uses more than 1 set of knotting cords. In this tutorial we will be using 3 sets of knotting cord to make our bracelets and necklaces.

The basic knot that we will be using to make our fishbone macrame hemp jewelry is a basic square knot.
How to make a square knot instructions.

Step 2 Take the left cord and bring it under the center string and threw the loop on the right.
