anchor Portuguese knitting necklace

This Portuguese knitting necklace is for anyone who loves fishing or nautical things. This necklace can be use single or with color work using to different colors. To use single just loop the yarn around the middle. or for two colors hook one color on the right side and the other color on the left side.

Anyone can wear this necklace but if you Portuguese knit you can use this as a Portuguese knitting necklace. This is a new design. The old cord i was using had some faults to it so I change the necklace style. It is adjustable (however, when adjusting the necklace make sure not to pull to hard on the knot as it may come out. I find that adjusting the necklace from the one strand to work best.

this necklace can be adjusted from 18 inches to 30 inches

The necklace is made of waxed cotton cord.

With the Portuguese style you with knit with the yarn around your neck (which can sometimes irritate your neck) or by using a knitting pin which can leave a hole in your blouse. With the necklace you don't have to poke a hole in your blouse and also serves as a necklace making it both practical and functional . I found this style of knitting due to an injury with my wrist where it hurt to much to knit English throwing style and I love this style of knitting so much better.

since you are using the pin as tension your hands stay on the needle which causes less hand movement which is easier on your hands. This style is very easy to learn, and you are also able to knit faster.
