Wow! It is so simple and yet so adorable:)(well,simple things are often like that:>)You do really great job with all those patterns, not mentioning about being a lovely model:)Thanks for sharing!
I love it, but am wondering what length a shortened version would be, say, for a seven-year-old who might also like to use it as a headband. I have no children available to measure, but would like to send one to a little friend who would love it, too! Thank you.
Olga, I had so much fun making up this necklace. It is a quick satisfying project. I will post about it when I've gotten a chance to take some pics. Also, I am very happy to pass on the stylish blogger award to you! If you get a chance, come by my blog.
O, I have plans for this pattern! I have some cashmere yarn with sequinse woven in left over from another project that I am going to use to make me a beautiful necklace!
How very cute-- and easy!!! I've been collecting projects to share with beginner knitters. This is a step-up that will show them that with just an extra technique (yo/k2tog) you can make something special. (NurseLaura)
hi Olga, I'm French and I have shown (and linked) your wonderful blog to my blog readers - I was wondering if you will allow me to translate in french your cabble braided necklace free pattern- you will get it to post on your own blog of course !
I always have small amounts of fingering weight yarn leftover from when I knit shawls. This is great for those little bits so they dont get thrown in the trash. Thanks for making the pattern free :-)
this is so beautiful! have you made any using two different colors (one for each strip)?
also, i don't know how to crochet a chain - can you suggest an alternate method for making the button loop? i guess i could always just learn to crochet :)
I love this - I rarely knit these days because most projects take so much time, but this I might actually be able to finish while my kids nap {or maybe a couple of naptimes}.
SIMPLE BUT ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! AM I ABLE TO USE IT TO MAKE TO SELL FOR CHARITY? WOMEN IN ACTION ARE A CHARITY THAT WORK AGAINST SEX TRAFFICKING IN INDIA? OR IS THAT NOT ALLOWED? DEBS :)
Thank you so much, Olga. Ineed something to make with granddaughters whom I don't see very often.They are 8 and 6 and will love these. Now to search the stash for some non-itchy silk and some cotton. I'm so happy I found you ! Tessa

This looks very cute! Thank you for sharing. One question - what is the purpose of washing the pieces? Is it to make it fluffy? Softer?
ReplyDeleteOMG! I just love it... This would make perfect bracelets...
