Additional gauge/needle information:

Four-stitch I-cord diameter (flattened) = approximately 1/4-3/8”.

If US Size 4 needles do not result in specified I-cord gauge, try US Size 3 or 5 instead, as always in knitter’s preference of DPNs, straights, or circulars used as straights.

Additional materials needed:

• Yarn needle (for finishing).
• Your choice of pendant (optional).

Different colors of yarn:

The photo shows A007, but there are eight (8) colors of SWTC Jazz, and all swatch beautifully for this design. If you are adding the optional pendant, be sure to consider its composition when selecting your yarn color.

Sterling (shown) paired best with A007, while A004 highlights pewter extemely well, and reddish jasper paired with A001 was simply stunning. A few other design combinations sure to bring compliments are bright coral with A002, deep green jade with A003, black obsidian with A004 (again), turquoise with A006, ivory with A005, and palest smoky brown topaz with A008.
