Materials Needed
- Size 10 knitting needles
- Super bulky weight yarn
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Buttons or beads (optional)
Step 1: Cast On
Start by casting on 40 stitches onto your size 10 knitting needles. This will be the width of your knitted cowl necklace.
Step 2: Knit the First Row
Once you’ve cast on your stitches, start knitting the first row. Simply knit every stitch across the row.
Step 3: Repeat Rows
Continue knitting every stitch across each row until your piece reaches the desired length. This will depend on how long you want your knitted cowl necklace to be. Remember to switch sides after each row, knitting from the right needle to the left needle.
Step 4: Bind Off
Once you’ve achieved the desired length, bind off your stitches. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and slide the last stitch off the needle. Pull the tail through the loop to secure it.
Step 5: Attach Buttons or Beads (optional)
If you want to add some extra flair to your knitted cowl necklace, you can attach buttons or beads to it. Use your yarn needle to sew them onto one of the short ends of the necklace. This will allow you to easily fasten the necklace around your neck.
Step 6: Finishing Touches
Finally, weave in any loose ends of yarn using your yarn needle to ensure a clean finish. You can trim off any excess yarn with scissors.
Now that you’ve completed all the steps, your knitted cowl necklace is ready to be worn with pride! This DIY accessory is not only stylish but also a great conversation starter. Plus, the fact that you made it yourself adds an extra touch of satisfaction.
So, grab your knitting needles and some yarn, and get started on your very own knitted cowl necklace. Happy knitting!
