How to Macrame a Bracelet with Basic Alternating Half Hitch Knot
Summary: Learn how to macrame your own alternating half hitch bracelets with two lengths of common nylon thread or paracord. Super easy yet fancy pattern!
A half hitch is one of the basic knots while making macrame bracelet. Here, I will show you an easy sennit bracelet to make with alternating half hitch knots. And if you are an outdoors person, this knot can be a useful and functional technique for making a survivor bracelet.
Supplies needed to macrame the bracelet:
2mm Nylon Thread
Lighter
Scissors
How to macrame a bracelet with alternating half hitch?
Step 1: Cut one length of white and blue nylon thread, about 100cm for each color.
Step 2: Fold the two cords into 20cm and 80cm parts. Fasten the blue cord against the white one by using a Lark’s Head Knot. Tighten the knot as firm as possible.
Step 3: Pick the two 20cm long ends as holding. Then, start to tie the half hitch knot by using two long working end alternately.
Stop when the bracelet reaches a comfortable length.
Step 4: Hold the four cord ends with an overhand knot. Trim off the excess and then seal with lighter.
Done!
There are various half hitch patterns available while one learn to macrame a bracelet. And in today’s project I’ve shown the pattern uses two holding ends. Similarly, for a vintage pattern, just try the alternating half hitch without a holding end.

Hi there, Is this for a bracelet that would fit around a wrist. I'm wanting to do this bracelet but as an anklet. How much more cord would you need to make it an anklet? Thank you :)

Yeah, it's a bracelet that would fit around a wrist. Of course, you can also use it as an anklet. To make it anklet, the length of the cords is depends on the length of your anklet. The length of white and blue nylon thread we used is about 100cm for each color. Hope it can help you. :)
