Materials
- Paintbox Yarns Recycled T-Shirt
- Knitter's Pride Ginger Single Point Needles 25cm (10in) (1 Pair)
- 12mm knitting needles
- Karen Kay Buckley Perfect Scissors 6"
Pro Tip
Add some glamour to your necklace and hold the t-shirt yarn double with a glitter thread! I have used Ricorumi Lame in Silver. Just be careful with your tension as the t-shirt yarn will be stretchier than the glitter yarn, so make sure you keep your tension relaxed and the yarns held evenly whilst being worked together.
1
With 12mm needles, leave a long starting tail (10-12 inches) and cast on 3.
2
Knit each stitch.
3
Slip each stitch back on to the left hand needle.
4
Repeat steps 1 and 2. After the first few rounds, the i-cord will begin to look like a round cord. Repeat until you have a total of 45 i-cord rounds, or until the necklace measures the desired length.
5
When you have completed step 2 for the final time, cast off the 3 stitches and fasten off. Cut the yarn end to your desired length for tying your necklace in a knot or bow.
