Create a lovely necklace in less than 1 hour using your Zippy loom! Worked with beaded cord to create a unique and gorgeous necklace.
Materials
Knitting loom: Zippy loom.
Yarn: Approx 4 yards of beaded cord. Sample used 2 spools of cord-beaded ribbon by Simplicity.
Notions: knitting tool.
Other: 2 cord end camps, 1 small lobster claw and 2 jump rings, small pliers. Matches to burn the ends of the cord to prevent fraying.
Pattern notes:
- Worked in the knit stitch.
- To add the second strand of cord, securely join both cords with a knot. After necklace is complete, trim the ends of the knot closely to the necklace and burn the ends of the cord to prevent fraying and prevent the knot from coming undone.
