Indie dyed sock yarn is available in so many beautiful, speckly colors. And yes, it's great for one of a kind socks, but sock yarn isn't just for sock knitting. It can be used to create simple and stunning accessories as well.

This project is a little unconventional, but a lot of fun. I used a single colorway of sock weight yarn. However, this could be a cool scrappy project for your colorful, leftover yarn bits.

Materials

  • fingering/sock weight yarn (about 45 grams)
  • 48 inch long circular needles US size 4 (3.5mm) or size necessary to obtain gauge

Gauge: 25 sts x 35 rnds = 4 inches

Directions

Cast on 800 sts (that's not a typo, it's a lot of stitches).

All Rnds: k all sts.

Continue for about 11 rounds or until piece measures 1 1/4 inches. Bind off.

You'll find that your work will naturally roll to create what looks like a very long (approximately 128 inches) loop of cord.

Simply wrap it around your neck 4-5 times depending on the length you prefer to wear your necklace. It's a bright and colorful way to express yourself and add some fun to your wardrobe!
