KnotHead Report post Posted September 3, 2014 This is going to be a necklace for my Aunt. A very special person in my life. I'm did a trenza de doce style for 18 inches in 1/16th black kangaroo string. Now I'm doing side stitching in a 1 to 7 pattern. This will go the whole way down the necklace on both sides. It will also get some sterling silver puffy hearts and a reconstituted turquoise pendant. Below is some of the work in progress. That fid I had to make for this project. Brian...

Greg Tidwell Report post Posted September 4, 2014 Looks nice, and I too want to see what you have in mind for a finished project. Pardon the noob question, but is a "1 to 7 pattern" some sort of ridge or edge braid? I have Grant's Encyclopedia, and want to try to figure the mechanics of what you are doing. Thanks!

KnotHead Report post Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks all for the very kind comments. A 1 to 7 pattern just means from hole 1 to hole 7. Essentially creating a pattern of over 1, under 2, over 2 thru the hole in front of the last pass. coming back to the main pattern would be over 2, under 2, over 1 and thru the hole. This produces herringbone sides with a 3 strand braided pattern on the edge itself. Brian... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KnotHead Report post Posted September 7, 2014 Sorry for the delay folks. But this is very slow going along with a few mistakes in my sequence. But all is corrected and moving on with it. Since the strings are at 1/16th the process is very slow with type of side(edge) stitching. Thanks Brett. I will post the completed project as soon as I can get both sides done. Brian...
