Add beads, play with yarn, most of all…have fun crocheting. You can vary the length and number of your strands to make a longer necklace or even a bracelet. Strands 3 – 28: Work similar to Strand 2, slip stitching into ch-4 spaces along the foundation motif working back and forth to fill in the ch-4 spaces. Strand 2: Sl st tightly above ch-sp to lock end of previous strand, work love knots until strand is desired length, sl st in first ch-4 space to right of previous strand starting point. If your love knots are consistent in size you can count how many you have in your first strand, then crochet that number of love knots for the rest of your strands instead of measuring. Note: My love knots are consistently an inch long, so it takes 27 of them to reach the length of strand that I used. The shorts were distributed to theaters by Columbia. Strand 1: Chain extending the loop on your hook to approximately 1 inch in length, sc in back loop of ch just made, first Love Knot created, continue making love knots until strand is 27 inches long (unstretched) or 32 inches long (stretched), sl st in center of third ch-4 space along motif. Loopy De Loop is a series of theatrical cartoon shorts created by Hanna-Barbera starring Loopy de Loop. Note: Ends of strands are connected to the Foundation Motif in the ch-4 loops created in Rnd 2. I show my favorite way of weaving in the beginning tail in my “Loopy de Loop” video. Note: You may find it helpful to weave in the beginning tail at this point to get it out of your way. Rnd 2: (Ch 4, sk 1 dc, sl st next dc) 5 times, ch 1, sl st next st, ch 1, sl st in first ch-4 sp, sl st above ch-4 space. Rnd 1: Starting with adjustable slip knot, ch 4 (counts as a dc and center), 11 dc in 4th ch from hook, sl st to top of beginning ch-4. Each strand is attached at its beginning and end as it is worked.įoundation Motif (dc yo-yo with chain loops) This necklace is worked by crocheting long Love Knot strands off a foundation motif. Yarn: Classic Elite “Santorini” (58% Vicose/42% Cotton), 50g /125 yards. Hopefully between the pattern below and the video you will be crocheting along without any hiccups.įinished size: Approximately 30 inches around This is a simple project, but I am using some techniques in slightly different ways. The necklace is still pretty but looks different now from my original photos. One thing to note, my love knots collapsed in the heat and humidity of Charleston, basically it was “blocked”. I choose a size F (3.75mm) hook for my necklace because I wanted the “knot” part of my love knots to be snug, since they provide the structure of this piece. You can use other yarns, just remember to adjust your hook size if you need to. I used Classic Elite’s “Santorini” yarn for this project because of the mixture of textures and colors in each ball.

This post contains the written pattern and I have a new video on my YouTube channel that walks you thru the pattern and the techniques you need to complete this fun necklace. It didn’t happen as soon as I had hoped, but here it is. Right before I left for the CGOA conference in Charleston I posted about this necklace and said I would get the pattern up soon.
