Crochet from jute: what can be done
Jute is the name given to the material obtained from the leaves of the southern plant of the same name. The thread resembles a rope made from hemp, not only in color, but also in its light hairiness. Natural undyed jute has a yellowish-beige color, but the threads can also be purchased in dyed form.
The color of dyed jute can be any.
The thickness of the jute thread also varies depending on the number of fibers twisted together. You can crochet wonderful exclusive products from jute, and depending on the functional purpose of the item, choose the thickness of the thread.
Crochet from jute:
- Panama hats, hats, visors;
- bags, backpacks;
- rugs;
- baskets;
- panel;
- cases for flowerpots, flower pots;
- napkins;
- dishes - vases, plates, bread bins, etc.;
- boxes;
- bookmarks;
- belts, etc.
The threads are even, so crocheted items turn out gorgeous.
Jute for crochet: advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of jute are:
- natural material;
- lasting;
- does not stretch;
- not electrified;
- does not deteriorate from moisture;
- it is easy to care for;
- excellent air permeability;
- has an unlimited service life, etc.
The disadvantages include the fact that the thread has fibers that can break off and crumble. But you should know that this only happens during knitting; nothing like this happens during operation.
To get rid of lint, you can shake the product and knock it out (like a carpet).
The thread is somewhat rough to the touch, which does not allow you to crochet clothes from it.
You can knit any patterns using a jute hook. Spatial products of complex shape (hats, baskets, etc.) can be made using a plastic frame and tying it.
Both products made from raffia and knitted yarn, and crochet items made from jute look great - they are fashionable and stylish.
Caring for crocheted jute items
Such products should be washed in warm water using any detergent, but it is advisable to use gels. Just don’t twist, bend or rub things too hard.
Washing is acceptable both by hand and by machine. Do not load bulky items into the washing machine - they may become damaged and lose their shape.
To remove dirt, you can do without washing: just heat the product with hot steam and lightly wipe with a damp cloth. Flat knitted items can be ironed.
The use of jute in needlework
Jute thread is affordable and easy to find in stores. To create crafts from jute twine with your own hands, you will need a standard set of stationery. Having started getting acquainted with this type of needlework with simple products, it will soon be easy for the master to move on to the most complex works.
The technology for creating such crafts does not require the purchase of expensive additional equipment. It is easy to apply the skills to make crafts from rope and twine with your own hands.
Jute cords are actively used for the manufacture of various openwork weaving items using the filigree technique and for interior decoration.
Using string or twine, you can quickly and easily transform any item.
Basket for all kinds of small things
The methods of making any container or container using twine do not end with the wrapping technique. With the right skills and a little patience, anyone can create a full-fledged basket for storing small items. To make such a container, you will only need to select any plastic container of the size you want for the box. You will also need standard tools for the work of a craftsman: reliable glue, scissors, and a crochet hook. Production will take place in the following stages:
- In the upper part of the plastic container you have chosen, you need to make cuts located at the same distance from each other.
- Through the holes made, you will then need to wind the twine vertically.
- After the wrapping process is completed, the twine is cut and its end is sealed so that it is not visible.
- Next, twine is wound onto the bottom of the container in vertical strips. If necessary, you can use a crochet hook to wind it in this way.
- To complete the work, you will need to turn the container over and secure its bottom with glue.
- Let the glue dry and then pull out the container. The container is ready!
Advantages and disadvantages of jute
Jute is a fiber of natural origin. It is grown in India. The technology for producing jute fiber involves cutting the long stems of the plant and soaking them in water.
After two to three days of soaking, the jute stems are dried and processed. The technology does not involve the use of active chemicals, so jute is absolutely safe for human health.
Its advantages include flexibility and ease of use.
The disadvantage is the ability to actively absorb moisture and susceptibility to rotting.
Jute cord must be stored in a dry place, since when wet it is less susceptible to processing and takes a long time to dry.
Pattern for weaving flowerpots using the macrame technique for beginners
You will need:
- cord with a diameter of 5 mm (length 40 m)
- metal or wooden ring with a diameter of 4.5 cm
The length of the finished flowerpot is about 70 cm
Cut the cord into 8 pieces of 5 m each.
Fold the thread so that one end is 3.5 m and the other 1.5 m and secure it to the ring. Make a loop by bringing it under the ring. Bend it over the base towards you and pull the ends of the thread into the loop. Lock on the bottom.
Fasten parts of the rope to the ring so that 2 long (working) parts are located along the edges, 2 short (axial) parts are located between the long parts.
To prevent the threads from getting in the way, tie them into a skein and secure with rubber bands
We weave the handles of flowerpots
Divide all the threads into 4 groups (2 long and 2 short parts). Make single left-handed flat knots using long pieces of rope.
You need to tie approximately 30 knots or approximately 50 cm (their number depends on the thickness of the rope and the required length of the product).
Secure the twisted chain with two flat knots:
Two twisted knots for fastening
And the finished chain
Weave three more twisted chains in the same way.
We weave a basket for a flowerpot
To do this, weave 1 flat knot with two right ropes from one group and 2 flat knots with left ropes from the group closest to the right at a distance of 8 cm from the last knots. We repeat 4 times, sequentially including all the ropes in a circle.
We measure 8 centimeters...
...we fasten the threads with a flat knot...
...and so on in a circle
Knit three rows of warp.
Step back a little from the last knots and use the braiding method to gather the ropes into one bundle.
Braid method
The braid must be very strong so that the flower pot does not break!
We pull all the threads into a bundle. Take a piece of thread, fold it in half and add it to all the threads with the loop facing up.
Using one thread from the bundle from top to bottom, we make several turns.
We insert the end of the cord into the loop and pull the ends of the loop down so that the cord comes out from below under the turns. Pull the second end of the loop up and pull it under the winding.
Carefully cut off the upper end of the thread, and hide the lower end along with the rest of the threads.
Braid weaving pattern
Leave the length of the thread for the tassel about 20 - 30 cm, cut the ends with sharp scissors. The pot is ready!

Differences between jute and flax and manila hemp
Manila hemp is durable and does not absorb moisture. It produces a very strong rope with a pleasant shade, which is especially valued for its strength and durability. The cost of Manila hemp determined its use for the decoration of rich rooms.
Linen twine has a dull grayish tint. It is fragile and soft, which makes the work very simple. It is flax that is most often used to make burlap.
The pleasant golden-yellow hue of jute makes it an excellent option for decorating wooden surfaces. Jute is quite durable, and making jute crafts with your own hands is not particularly difficult.
Openwork flowerpot with “Butterfly” pattern
To weave such an openwork flower pot you need:
- rope – 50 m
- three rings with a diameter of 7 cm, 10 cm and 21 cm
- scissors
- pins for fastening thread
- work pillow
- hook for attaching flowerpots
Operating procedure
1) Cut the threads: 3 parts of 8 m, 6 parts of 3 m, 2 parts of 1 m, 1 thread - 2.5 m
2) Wrap the 10 and 21 cm diameter rings tightly with rope so that there is no gap. A ring with a diameter of 7 cm must be braided with double flat knots with a thread 2.5 m long.
Diagrams of the main macrame components of this flowerpot
3) Marking the middle, lay all the threads vertically and secure them in the middle with pins.
Place the shortest ones (meters) along the edges. With these threads, tie 8 cm chains of double flat knots in both directions from the middle. All other threads will be the basis.
Next, thread it into a ring with a diameter of 7 cm, fold it in half and, under the loop formed, tighten the threads using the braiding method ( Fig. 11 on the “Diagram of the main macrame knots of this flowerpot”)
4) Distribute the threads by 6 (long ones - along the edges) and in each part, first tie a chain of 4 double flat knots, then make 4 more of the same knots, leaving 3 picot air loops between them (Butterfly pattern , Fig. 6 ).
5) Using horizontal rep knots, secure the ends of the chains ( Fig. 2 ) to a ring with a diameter of 10 cm. Next, first weave 3 “butterflies”, and then simple chains of 4 knots without picot. Tighten the bundle of cord under the chains using the “braid” method.
6) Again divide the threads of 6 into groups and tie 3 hanging cords 40 cm long. Weave each one like this: first with single flat knots of 17 cm of twisted chain, then a “butterfly”, then a “pea” ( Fig. 8 ), again a “butterfly” "and then 13 cm of twisted chain.
7) Secure the ends of the hanging cords to a ring with a diameter of 21 cm, tying 3 threads in between them (a total of 9 threads of 1 m each, folded in half). On every 6 threads under the ring, make a “butterfly”.
Connect together the two outer cords from the adjacent butterfly patterns and tie 6 chains of 6 double flat knots, leaving the two inner ones free. We make a bundle of all the threads and tighten it using the “braiding” method.
We decorate the ends of the cords with “rollers” ( Fig. 12 ). The finished length of the knitted brush is 25 cm.
Jute filigree technique
The method of weaving jute crafts with your own hands for beginners is quite easy to learn. An important component of success is the placement of the product on a flat surface during the production process.
Filigree involves creating openwork patterns by interweaving fibers in different ways.
Modern jute filigree techniques suggest:

Two-level flowerpot “Juliana” using macrame technique
Most often, a flowerpot is woven for one flowerpot, but it can be two (or more) level. The shape, size, patterns, and material for it are also very diverse.
The Juliana flowerpot is woven from ordinary linen cord. It is designed for two flowers, located above and below.
Finished product length is about 70 cm
Required material:
- linen cord 5 mm thick (length 40 m)
- 2 rings with a diameter of approximately 4 and 6 cm
- 8 beads for decoration
The procedure for weaving pots “Juliana”
1) Cut the cord into 8 pieces of 5 m each. Mark the middle of the thread.
2) Make a ring for fastening. We take 4 threads, place them parallel and horizontally to each other. From the marked middle weave “up” and “down” about 8 flat square knots. We fold this resulting lace in half and thread it through a ring of smaller diameter. And if you don’t have a ring, then weave a few more knots, make a “loop” and tie 1-2 flat knots on all cords to strengthen it. Another option is to secure the thread using the braiding method.
3) We divide 8 ropes into 4 groups of 2 pieces and weave about 6-8 Lotus knots. It can be replaced with regular flat knots or weaved into a twisted chain.
4) We fasten it on the second ring, 5-6 cm away from the last knot, using horizontal rep knots. Between these cords we hang the remaining threads, folded in half. Now we have 16 threads at work.
5) Weave beads. We divide the threads into groups of 4 pieces. We knit 8 flat knots in each group, first weaving in one bead for decoration. Then we weave 2 more flat knots, weave a second bead and again 8 flat knots.
6) We weave the base for the first pot. We retreat 5 cm from the last knots, weave twisted chains, working with threads from neighboring ropes, shifting the knots.
7) Check if our flowerpot fits. If it doesn’t fit or, conversely, falls out, undo the knots and tie them correctly. Weave twisted chains about 20-25 cm. (Their length depends on the height of your pot.)
We weave the base for the second pot. We retreat 10-12 cm from the last knot, using 2 threads from adjacent chains, weave one flat knot each.
9) Again we retreat 12 cm, collect all the cords using the braiding method.
Be sure to try on the pot when you finally secure the threads. This will be the place for the second pot. It should fit there securely.
10) Design of the “tassel”. Back off 25-30 cm and cut the cords. You can fluff them, untwist them, or add beads for greater decorativeness.
To make it clearer, watch the video on how to knit a “Juliana” flowerpot:
Creating stencils
It will greatly simplify creating crafts from twine with your own hands by preparing a stencil with a sketch of the invented pattern.
Stencils are a schematic representation of the design of the future product. Their use helps to create symmetrical patterns and speeds up the process of creating crafts from jute twine using the filigree technique.
The main rule for making convenient stencils is to apply a clear image on white paper.
It is not difficult to come up with a pattern to create a template yourself. It is wise for beginning craftsmen to look for jute crafts, patterns and new ideas on the Internet.

It is not difficult to depict any ornament on a wooden base. If you pre-impregnate the wood with stain and varnish it, the result will be a unique interior element.
Rose boutonniere
The craft consists of several separate parts. Roses are rolled from a thin strip folded in half and sewn together with nylon thread on the back side. The craft is placed on a felt base. The first layer is glued with hemp threads laid out in a circle in a “sun pattern”. It is more convenient to use hot glue. The second layer is laid out from multi-colored threads folded in loops. Finally, the base is filled with roses of different sizes.
A safety pin is threaded through the wrong side of the felt, and the bouquet is secured to the clothing. This craft can be glued to gift wrapping or a vase.
Decor of containers
Using a jute cord, it is easy to give an original look to any storage container, transform a jar beyond recognition, or decorate a bottle.
For gluing, experts recommend using PVA glue. It does not leave streaks after drying.
The selected container will need to be pre-rinsed, dried, and glass or plastic degreased. After this, cover with an even layer of glue. The cord is laid in even rows and pressed so that there are no gaps.
In a similar way, you can decorate flowerpots, interestingly shaped boxes, and pots for indoor plants.
You can complement the decor with pebbles, beads, lace or fabric appliqués.
Jute decor
New Year's balls for the Christmas tree that have lost their visual appeal and aesthetics can be transformed using jute thread.
To remodel, you will need a rope, a glue gun and spray paint with a metallic tint; before the creative process, it is recommended to cover the working surface with newspapers or an old tablecloth.
The ball can be placed on a cup or glass, an improvised stand will keep it from turning over, its surface must be covered with glue.
Monograms and curls imitating a frosty design are laid out on a wet adhesive base made of rope; after drying, the ball is covered with a thick layer of spray paint.
Stool decoration
Jute cord is highly durable. Therefore, it is used for the manufacture and decoration of stool seats.
It is easy to knit a decorative cover for a stool using knitting needles or a hook made of natural thread.
Another way to make a cover for a stool is to glue a spiral blank onto a fabric base. This method is suitable for those who do not know how to knit.
To make a seat, you need to wrap the opposite edges of the frame with cord.
Basic rules for creating a simple flowerpot (for beginners)
1) Select a design and suitable material.
2) Cut the threads into pieces of the required length.
3) We fasten the threads on a working basis. There should be four ends (sometimes three or another number).
4) Make a loop for hanging the flowerpot. A ring is often used for fastening.
5) Then we begin to knit a twisted chain of right-handed or left-handed flat knots. They need to be knitted in four of the required length (or another number, according to your plan).
6) Measure the diameter of the pot so that it fits well in the flowerpot.
7) Choose a pattern of knots with which we will braid the base - a flower pot. Most often this is a square flat knot.
We knit a recess for the flowerpot.
9) At the end, we secure the work with a tight knot so that the flowerpot does not fall out of the flowerpot.
10) Cut the threads, leaving the ends long. They can be fluffed or beads attached to them to give the product an original look.
Next, we offer you to watch master classes on weaving both the simplest and more sophisticated flower pots using the macrame technique.
Jute lampshade
You can also use natural cord to create a new lampshade for home lighting fixtures.
The first step is to carefully consider the design of the product, the theme of the ornament and select additional decorative details.
You can come up with patterns yourself. It’s easy to look for topics for inspiration on the Internet by studying DIY jute crafts and their new items.
It is convenient to use an inflatable children's ball as a base for a lampshade. The cord is impregnated with PVA glue and wound onto the base in any order or according to a stencil.
After drying, the ball must be pierced, and the product must be additionally decorated with pebbles or other decor.
The basis for making a lampshade will be a glass jar wrapped in cling film.
