Starting from under the tape tie 11 consecutive Square Knots (tie 8 if you want to make smaller ears).
Turn your macrame and tie 11 consecutive Square Knots going the opposite way (tie 8 if you want to make smaller ears).
Fold the sinnet of 22 square knots in half and tape it flat, on the table (16 square knots for smaller ears).
Make a Square Knot with the 4 strings in the middle.
Repeat steps 1-3 to make the second ear, and place it next to the first one.
Make a Square Knot with the 4 strings in the middle.
Starting on the left, take on of the 140cm string, fold it in half and place it on the left of string #1.

Pull the two strings in the middle.
You should have no loops at the top of the Square Knot.

Take one of the new Square Knots and place it on the right of your macrame work, fix it on the table with masking tape.
Make an Alternating Square Knot using string 1 and 2 from the added Square Knot and the last two strings from the previous work.
Repeat twice more, adding a total of three of the new Square Knots.
Repeat step 7 on the left side.
Join your work at the front, by taking the first two and the last two strings and tying a Square Knot.
Tie rows of Alternating Square Knots until you have 7 rows.
Take all the string and using the 60cm piece of string, tie a Gathering Knot.
To add the Picot Knot (butterfly), take 4 strings and make 2 Square Knots 1 finger-space apart.
Push gently the bottom Square Knot up to create two 'wings'.
