A Ply-Split Necklace by Linda Hendrickson: Waves with Knots
Decorative knots by Maggie Machado


I made this necklace using eight 110"-long one-color cotton cords, 3/32" in diameter. It is worked in the Waves design. This is a popular shape in a technique known as SCOT (Single-Course Oblique Twining), which students learn in my beginning ply-split workshops by making a short braid attached to a keyring.

The tricky part for me was joining the braid in the center. I haven't yet written up the instructions for the necklace, but will get around to it eventually (especially if I have requests!).

Instructions for making this braid are found in The Techniques of Ply-Split Braiding by Peter Collingwood, and in my booklet Great SCOT! .

This necklace was shown in the juried exhibition Sea Strands: Braids, Bands, and Beads at Convergence 2002 in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
