Best books to learn Macramé, in order

Macramé is knot-based and cumulative, so learning the vocabulary in order is the whole game. A good path starts with the handful of essential knots and how cords and mounting work, moves into combining them into repeatable patterns, then into full projects — plant hangers, wall hangings, home pieces — that drill each knot until your hands remember the sequence without the book.
