Knitting Jewelry with Beads
If you enjoy wearing knitted accessories, you may appreciate the beauty of knitted beaded jewelry. CyberFibres completed a knitted necklace project. The basic design is that you will knit a rectangle of fiber and beads that will be the length around your neck that you desire. Once you finish knitting the rectangle and cast off, the two long sides of the rectangle will curl in towards each other, forming an attractive beaded rope. Once you sew a magnetic clasp or a metal circle and hook to the ends, you will be ready to wear your creation. CyberFibres chose to loop the beaded necklace in the middle and gently stitch the loop to hold its shape, as shown in the photo.
