'With macramé enjoying a resurgence in popularity, crafters may be drawn to the admittedly attractive designs outlined here. However, this is not the book to guide beginners nor to help advanced crafters learn new techniques.' ― Publishers Weekly

'Macramé is back, and this guide walks readers through several patterns sure to please those seeking classic motifs and new enthusiasts eager to embrace a boho aesthetic alike. The book leads off with full-colour photos for each pattern, often displaying the same design using a different size or texture of cord to illustrate the dramatic difference that material selection can make. Designs include both decorative and functional items, and range from a simple but dramatic angular room divider to a friendly owl with wooden beads for eyes that hearkens back to macramé's 1970s heyday. The variety displays the range this craft form can take, from rigid and striking to breezy and relaxed; however, the inclusion of a 'Native American Tapestry' relies on nonspecific generalizations rather than actual tribal patterns. Detailed row-by-row pattern instructions, which are complex but clear, follow the photographs, and a final section includes directions for making the many varied knot styles used in the patterns.' — Booklist
