10 DIY Knotted Jewelry Projects

10 DIY Knotted Jewelry Picks | Hands Occupied

sailor’s knot necklace / macrame hex nut bracelet / monkey’s fist earrings / infinity knot bracelet / beaded josephine knot earrings / Chinese knot (pipa) earrings / nautical headband / knotted bracelet made with mason line / 50s style tied headband

Knotted accessories are super fun to make, and they’re also a really affordable way to add some DIY to your style. Above, I shared some of my favorite knotting projects from around the crafty internet.

And PS, just in case knotting freaks you out a bit, and you’re in Chicago this week, I’m teaching a knotting 101 workshop at the cutest little pie shop in town on Thursday. BYOB and groups are welcome, and a slice of the best pie you’ve ever had is included with the class. Additional info and registration is available here.

      The tutorial on this page uses the same technique to accomplish what they did with the hex nut bracelet. They’re just using beads instead: http://www.lebenslustiger.com/serendipity/archives/262-Leather-Bracelet-DIY…AGAIN.html.

I think about the wrong side of my intarsia knitti I think about the wrong side of my intarsia knitting kind of like some embroiderers do: I get (probably too) excited when the back’s neat and tidy. Are you this way? Is it just me? 
.
Pictured is the wrong side of a large primary color intarsia swatch I knit for an upcoming design in @brooklyntweed Arbor. When I pulled it from my studio, I thanked my former self for talking the time to knit, weave in ends, & block a clean swatch already. As critical as they are, I’m excited to not have to make one today. I’ll advocate for swatching all day long, but I won’t pretend it’s like the funnest step in the process! 😆🧶

Weaving in ends when you’re knitting with black Weaving in ends when you’re knitting with black yarn… 😅

There are a few reasons 90% of my work is done in primary colors, & this is one of them! Lucky for me and my tear ducts, this secret monochromatic design project is off the needles. Just blocking, seaming, & then grading the thing before I can ship it off to make my deadline. 🤙🏻
Today’s knitting vocabulary words: deadline isla Today’s knitting vocabulary words: deadline island & intarsia lock. Have you run across these terms before? 
.
If there’s interest, I can share more examples of how to wrangle intarsia locks in a future video. With all of the intarsia designs in my queue, examples are sure to present themselves. 😅🧶
