As knitters, we know that knit jewelry is probably not one of your favorite ways to use up yarn. You’ve probably never even thought of it! When you’re trying to dash your stash, you’re more likely to choose a tiny knit baby hat or a sock with a ton of different colored stripes. But when your yarn scraps aren’t even long enough for a bitty baby bootie, knit jewelry is a great alternative!
You’d be surprised what you can create with yarn. There are so many impressive DIY jewelry tutorials out there – including ones for yarn. The best thing about knit jewelry (aside from it making way for a new skein of alpaca) is that it’s a unique way to accessorize. Boutiques all over the country have been picking up on this rustic, arts and crafts style jewelry trend. Knit jewelry is a creative way to add color and texture to your outfit, as well as a fun way to experiment with a new style of knitting.
If you’re worried about your creation looking like a grade school craft project, don’t worry. There are tons of artisan knit pieces that are absolutely exquisite. Just look at this gorgeous lace Knecklace! A seven year old definitely could not have made that.
