    1. Use simple i-cord knit or other variations (please see comment bellow).
      Have a creative time ahead and post picture please!

  4. I agree your work is beautiful. Is this an I-cord knitted? I'm very much into flowers and turning them into scarfs and other neck wear suitable for spring, summer and a transition to fall. Any suggestions would be great. I admire your work. Thanks.

  5. Hi Gigi! Yes you can use I-cord knit, or just chain length needed and then slip stitch all the way down, you can also base your creation on silver chain, or use a ribbon as well. Thank for stopping by! Please, post picture of your work when is finished! Happy crafting!
