Tutorial: Venus earring
I wanted to make a tutorial for this double spiral pattern a long time ago, because I think this is a basic pattern that every macrame knotter should know, and because I didn’t catch easily myself how to make it when I was a beginner. After spending many time with trying to make it by myself I managed to make it and I love this pattern which can be used and combined in many ways.
The time has come to make it after the simple spiral bracelet tutorial has already been done.
I hope many of you will find it useful. 🙂
As you start the bracelet you have to start with the 4 pieces of 80cm cords and you add the 2 longer cords last.
Notice that I recommend a length of cord in each tutorial, but the real length is up to the thickness of the cord you use, the strengthness of the knots you make and the length of the whole bracelet you need to make for one’s wrist. So the more you practice the better you will be in evaluating the necessary length of the cords.
Used materials:
- 4 x 80cm waxed polyester cord (1mm); Start with these 4 cords!
- 2 x 150cm waxed polyester cord (1mm).
You will also need:
- a workboard (mine is a covered swimming board);
- scissors;
- pins;
- and a lighter.

I wish you many happy hours with knotting this bracelet. 🙂

Buongiorno, grazie per il tutorial, ma i fili più lunghi sono i centrali? Con quali fili si inizia ad annodare?

I mentioned in the Used materials section which cords you should start with:
‘Used materials:

I hope you can make it this way.

I love the look of this bracelet! I just can’t follow it b/c #1. All strings are Tue same color & I can’t follow that string! #2. Under pics there are no written instructions. HE L P! Thanks for offering instructions for things to make. Some of us just want something to do, so free instructions are so nice & I’m thankful!
Thank you for your feedback. Well, we are all different and people learn in very different ways. I chose to make photo tutorials because there are so many youtube videos I cannot compete with in quality. But if you cannot follow the cords in the images then maybe youtube macrame tutorials are for you. In a good quality video tutorial, you can see exactly which cord is knotted to which one. I recommend you to search for them and start with an easy project there, that will help you a lot to identify better how the knots are made and how patterns are formed.
