Notes

Excellent travel accessory - easy to pack and comfortable to wear and no worries about carrying expensive jewelry.

1st - 150 st., Knit 9 rows, JSSBO 140 st., K10
2nd - 120 st.
3rd - 110 st.
4th - 120 st.
5th - 100 st.

Planned 6th - 90 st. and 7th - 80 st., but decided to stop at 5 loops because I didn’t like the short choker-length loops.

CO with Cable CO Purlwise, then turned needle to work the loop. Knit 9 rows. Then JSSBO, using Techknitter’s kfb to start each BO, and ended each BO by slipping last st. to right needle before binding off/bind off 2nd last st./return last st. to left needle/k2tog. K10 left on needles to create “backbone” of necklace and start next loop.

Weighs 12 g.

I wish I had started with longer loops - maybe:

-170/150/140/150/130/120/110

-160/130/140/130/150/120/110

I didn’t want a long necklace but this one would be too short and choker-ish if I finished all 7 circles.
