Choker

[Michelle Myers]

Here's a choker I made following the pattern in the new Interweave Knits Crochet magazine. Has anyone else tried it? It called for hemp, but I used #10 cotton thread, doubled. I have a ton of 10/2 tencel scraps laying around from weaving projects, and I may try making one with that as well. Let me know what you think! Cross posted from the thread forum...

Jeepers, that wasn't what I was expecting at all. The word "hemp" made me think of those knotted necklaces. That is brilliant!

it's beautiful!

I love it! I saw the pattern and I couldn't find crochet hemp either. You've inspired me to try with thread.

that turned out wonderful! i wondered what it looked like IRL! and i LOVE it done in the thread...i wouldn't have thought to substitute thread!

Thanks everybody! It really was quite easy. Made with a B hook, so not too, TOO tiny. I'm used to using a #7 steel hook and single strand #10 cotton thread, so this was actually kind of a luxury. I recommend trying it! I threw it together during one long, rainy, dreary Saturday afternoon.
