Made this very easy bridal or evening belt and necklance in any color!

Level: Beginner. Must be comfortable with knitting iCords before knitting with beaded silk.

Finished Size: Necklace is 18 inches Belt is Size of Waist plus 34 inches for sash tie (17 inches each side) Example: 26 inch waist plus 34 inches = 60 inches for a nice drop with either a knot or bow tie off

Materials: 1 Hank of 100% Silk Beaded Plie Yarn (with glass beads) by Tilli Tomas – shown in Coral Sap (one hank makes 2 necklaces & 2 belts) , US Size 6 Double Pointed Needles (2 from set), ¼ yard of tulle fabric (4” x 35”) for each necklace, 2 Yards of 1½ inch wide ribbed or velvet ribbon for each belt (not smooth ribbon), matching thread & needle, 1 necklace closure, 2 O-rings 14MM size & 2 O-rings 10MM size from any Craft/Hobby Store. Note: I only paid $1.36 for 1 yd of tulle & $2.80 for the ribbon at Britex in San Francisco. The necklace closure & O-Rings were inexpensive as well, under $3.00 from the Hobby Company in San Francisco.
