Great Odin's Raven Viking Knit Bracelet Tutorial
Created by: Jaci Boston
Designer Tips
- Follow the instructions that come with the Lazee Daizee™ to create two Viking knit sections for the bracelet.
- The Lazee Daizee™ accommodates various sizes of wire. I chose the 26-gauge for it's flexibility and overall ease to use.
- Beware of kinking of the wire. It can get extremely difficult to knit if the wire is kinked and may actually break mid knit.
- Don't get discouraged! If it doesn't look perfect, you're doing just fine! The Viking knit is going to look sloppy and messy until it's run through the drawplate. Running it through the drawplate tightens the weave and reduces the diameter of the Viking knit.
- Use jump rings to attach sections to focal.
