According to Wiki, “Macramé or macrame is a form of textile-making using knotting rather than weaving or knitting.” DISCLAIMER I don’t know if everything above is technically macramé or not – just that it is out there under the name of macramé. I bypassed anything that was obviously crochet. When online sellers get a whiff of a trend suddenly everything is “vintage inspired macrame woven crochet knitted sweater cardigan shawl scarf hippy boho earth tree hugger eco.” You know what I mean? So when shopping, traverse the winds of trends with care.
PS Check out these macramé hip scarves on eBay, they might be cute over a bikini at the beach this summer.
And another cute way to go is with a bright macramé keychain. If you always have the largest keychain on the block – these would be great.

And if you want to know what came first, the macramé or the owl, you are going to have to ask an old hippy.
