How To Make a Trellis Yarn Necklace
Super easy, creative and beautiful, a trellis yarn necklace is fun to make. Trellis yarn is very colorful and shiny, with a lace pattern and a delightful airy look. All you need is a ball of yarn and your own two hands although some crafters recommend using a crocheting hook. Simple loop and knot tying is all it takes to create an unusual and unique design.
Tools Needed
- 1 skein Trellis Yarn
- Crochet hook, if desired
Easy to Follow Steps
- Measure out but don’t cut an arm’s length of yarn.
- Make a slip knot.
- Starting with the chain stitch, you’ll need to pull the yarn through the knot’s loop, creating another loop. You can use a crochet hook here if you like, but it is not required. Pull the yarn on through the second loop, which creates a third loop. Continue in this manner, threading through and creating new loops until you have threaded 100 stitches. On the last stitch, pull the rest of the yarn on through, and measure out another arm’s length of yarn for the next step.
- Chain 90 stitches on the second section. On the last stitch, pull the rest of the yarn through, and measure out another arm’s length of yarn for the next step.
- Chain 80 stitches on the third piece before pulling the remaining thread through. Measure out another arm’s length of yarn.
- Chain 70 stitches on the fourth piece before pulling the thread through and measuring.
- Chain 60 stitches on the fifth piece and then pull the thread on through. Measure another arm’s length of yarn.
- On the sixth piece, chain 50 stitches. Pull the remaining thread through. Measure out another arm’s length of yarn.
- Chain 40 stitches on the seventh piece. Pull the thread through.
- Gather the right ends of all the strands together, tying them into a knot. Braid the ends on the right side together, and then braid the ends on the left side together. Lastly, tie both ends together with a knot. The remaining yarn can be cut to whatever length you want, and the yarn can fall down your back.
- Use a dot of glue or nail polish on the ends to prevent fraying.
- Twist all the strands before knotting for a different design.
