Spectacles cord
Started: 10th June 2020
Finished: 21st June 2020
Pattern
Grapevine choker from Kemp, B. How to make 50 fabulous flat kumihimo braids, Search Press, 2016. pp 48-49.
Materials
- DMC Perle Coton size 8 in pale green (threads going across) and mid blue.
- DMC Perle Coton size 3 in mid green
Elastic spectacle loops (bought on Etsy)
Notes
Needed to double the size 8 perle coton to match the thickness of the size 3, but it seems to be working. The shiny perle cotton is giving a very nice effect.
Started with threads through first of spectacle cord elastic loops.
For the end I folded it through the second of the spectacle cord elastic loops and then sewed it, I hope, strongly.
Daniel really pleased with it. Seems to stay on his glasses better than the cord he bought. Rubber ends seem better.
Length is about 70 cm. Unfortunately I didn't make a note of the length of threads that I started with.
