Necklace Project

Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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.

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.
