rope work

[Shecallsmemaster]

was wondering if anyone could ID the following pics an tell me what the design is called. If I remember correctly the third pick is called a daisy chain.

I recognise the first one as a "scoobiedoo" as it's called here... (Netherlands)

The middle one I don't know an official name for but I call it a half square knot. In the regular square knot you go left-over-right then right-over-left. This knot is just left-over-right continuously.

I have seen all of these in the Marina next to where I live but I dont know any of their names.

Hmmm...if memory serves me right I believe...

1 = square knot
2 = half knot twist
3 = lark's head knot

My mother was a huge macrame nut back in the day and she used these knot patterns all the time. Hopefully, I remembered them correctly.

These are all variations of a daisy chain using different knots, which pixie has identified. A daisy chain is often used as a quick and dirty way of making a rope shorter.
