Uau, ficou incrível, obrigado por compartilhar, ganhou mais uma escrita. 😘💛💚🌻

Great video! Thanks for the explanations on each step too. I used 550 Paracord to make this (excluding the twist, since that looked a bit intimidating and I'm new to this kind of stuff) and it turned out great!

I can't wait to try this. I'm a bit confused though. I the tutorial, you instruct us to fold the cord in half. Later you tell us to fold the cords so that the outer cords are longer than the inner cords. I understand the reasoning, but where exactly should we fold the cords. I'm new to macrame. How long do the inner cords need to be? And, how long should the outer cords be? Thank you.

Hi Ellen, thanks for your comment and sorry for the confusion! You want your inside cord to be the length of your finished dog leash + handle, and the outside cords will be extra long. The outside cords will be the ones you create the knots with, while the inside ones will not be used and so will remain the same length. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions 😊

Do you have a tutorial for a hands free leash?

Yeah I definitely subscribe to your channel the second you said you just cut it off your old one because that's where I'm at my store brand ones keep snapping LOL so I got fit cord I was planning to use for a monstera hang up but instead we're going to improvise LOL

Love this instructional, very easy to follow and the finished product looks and works great! I used standard 4mm cotton macrame cord, but I’m wondering if you can recommend a supplier of braided cotton cord, as I’d love to make another collar and lead with more durability?

A very instructive video. It was a little difficult because I don't speak English, but I succeeded. I'm making it from macrame thread. I've just started. What should pet owners do if they want to clean them? Any ideas? Thank you.❤

Thanks so much! Yes you definitely could, you would end up with a colour pattern that looks like the matching dog collar I made in my other video! I hope that helps 😊

If I was to use 5mm cord, how would I work out the length?

Love the leash! How long are the working cords and how long are the inner cords? Thanks.

@KnotCalm

Thank you 😊 That will depend on how long you want your leash to be! The pattern is customisable so you can make it to the length to suit your own pet. The full string lengths are 6x the final length. You can find the explanation of the lengths at around the 1:00 minute mark of the video.

you will only need to make one square knot to attach the ring to the lead.

This will again depend on how big you want your lead to be, it is up to you how long to make your handle.

Hi, I don't quite understand the calculation of the length of the thread. So if I have a leash that measures 150 cm, I have to calculate 150 x 6 and come up with 9 metres. So the threads will have to be 2 of 9 metres? Is this correct?

@KnotCalm

Yes that is correct! it seems like a lot of cord, but you will need it :)

Hi. Can you tell me how to determine how much cord I would cut for the leash and the collar? TIA

You can see at 00:57 in the video how I determine the measurement for the leash. You can make it to any lenght you desire based on your needs for your dog :) Make sure to check out the tutorial on the dog collar here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4J3lcmqc8mxcdI.html

Hi where do you get your string from?

@KnotCalm

Жыл бұрын

Hi! where are you located? I am from Australia and so buy my string from a local Melbourne company (industrial yarns).

So I'm a beginner, I checked 3times the length of the cord before cut it, but I didn't checked it's 5mm. After the twist I ran out of working cord 😭 Was this because of the cord thickness? Thanks for your reply

@KnotCalm

Жыл бұрын

Oh no! Yes the thickness of cord will change the length quite a bit unfortunately. Different thicknesses use more or less cord per square knot. Maybe you could try adding in some cord? Or having a shorter lead! Let me know if you have any other questions

Don't panic it happens to everyone at some point I'm convinced there is a way to add cord when you run out! I just watched one earlier let me know if you want the name of it

So, I’m at point where middle cords are 50cm & the outside cords are 600cm??? ! I have to start the handle now; can’t figure out why the outside cords so long compared to inner cords? My leash I want is 150cm long so I cut 150X6 cm so where did I go wrong? I’m using braided cord 3 mm

Hi Lori, that is strange! Are you using your longer cords to knot with on the outside? Maybe if you send an image of your work to knotcalm@gmail.com I could be more accurate with my assistance.

You were misled, the cord is fragile. I weaved it according to your tutorial, but after 3 walks with the dog, the leash was all stretched out and it was impossible to walk with it anymore, I threw it away.

Sorry to hear that! Unfortunately there is a huge variety of cord qualities and so some braided cord can end up being poor quality and not last long. It is always best to buy the best quality products you can find if you want things to last long term ☺️ my dog lead lasted years!

I have tried over and over, but I cant manage to make it straight. It twist over.... Strange, because the first 6-7 cm was fine. Have tried to put the clip near the end in order to keep it straight, but doesn't help. Out of ideas now...😢

Sorry to hear you are having trouble, that is strange! What exactly do you mean by straight? Make sure you are creating a full square knot instead of a spiral knot. You can email a photo of your work to knotcalm@gmail.com and I can try and help, but it is hard to say what the problem is without looking at it sorry.
