Description Given how much I enjoyed making my Viking Knit Heart Bracelet , I set out to make this beauty.

It's a double-knit viking knit using (~240 inches of) 24 gauge copper, with a glass bead for focal point. Although it's designed to lay snug against the wearer's neck, the clasp at the back makes it easy to put on.

As always, comments/criticism/advice welcomed.

It probably took around 4-5 hours total, but totally worth it.

Thanks! I saw the bead in a mixed collection and knew that I had to use it for the color.

Oh yes! I have some fluorite that I'm trying to figure how to work with copper chainmail.

Fluorite is a beautiful mineral. Best of luck with that project!

I've so many beads of all different shades of it, but they're so fragile I'm always nervous working with it!

That's absolutely beautiful. I really need to learn to knit wire...

Thank you!

If you're interested in learning to knit wire, I would recommend getting some copper wire from your local electronics/hardware store (I get my 24 gauge as telephone wire) from Radio Shack since that tends to be cheaper than purchasing it from craft stores or online jewelry supply. This will give you a lot of wire to practice with without breaking the bank (eg: 400 feet for $15). There are a lot of resources online as well as in print; I've seen wire-working books at most bookstores and libraries. I first encountered viking knit in this library book: [link]
