It is interesting to create such products, because in most cases you do not fully know what the result will be. Sometimes it is enough to rearrange the thread in a different way and the whole creation will sparkle with new colors. It is no less pleasant to receive such decoration in present.
To make knitted beads you will need:
1. Cotton yarn.
2. Beads in two sizes.
3. Magnetic clasp.
4. Waxed thread.
5. An old unnecessary jewelry chain.
6. Super glue.
7. Hook 1.5.
First, let's start making a knitted cord. Let's start by casting on 6 chain stitches and knitting them together to make a circle. And we will knit it in the round. The main thing is not to miss a single loop, otherwise the lace will be uneven. We knit it to the required length. It all depends on your idea. You can tie a fairly long cord and then it will be around your neck in several rows.
Next, we will tie large beads. We close the chain of three air loops and knit to the size of a bead, adding two loops in each row.Raise the walls to the desired height, insert the bead inside and complete the ball, gradually decreasing the loops in the opposite direction.
Alternating, we put the beads on a waxed thread. If you don’t have one at hand, a regular thread from the yarn used to tie the beads will do. Pull it through the beads in two rows.
Next, let's consider two options. First, hide the thread in a knitted cord. To do this, we attach a small pin to the edge of the thread and pull it inside the cord. Using a thread and a needle, we imperceptibly sew the edges of the cord to the beads. Option number one is ready.
You can go further and create a second option. For it, the knitted cord will need to be wrapped in a chain. We hide the ends inside and sew them firmly. Three elements need to be connected together. Attach waxed thread to the cord. To do this, place the ends inside the knitting and sew. Attach a magnetic clasp to the ends of the cord. Super glue is suitable for this. It must be dripped inside the fastener and secure the cord. If it is possible to discreetly hem the fastener, this option will be more reliable and the product more durable. You can also place a thin ribbon inside the cord and leave the ends for tying the decoration.
These are two simple beads you can make with your own hands. To the envy of others and to your own joy.
