Thank you Ruth for your elegant design.

To reach Ruth, please email ruth.winter@gmail.com
Materials:
24 - #4002 Silver Plate Coarse Knit
24 - #2011 Navy Blue Tight Knit
6 - 20 gauge silver wire
24 - 28 gauge silver wire (or more depending on the
number of embellishments on your collar)
Assorted crystal beads (or your preference)

Tools:
Measuring tape
Scissors
Awl
Long cooking tongs
Wire working tools:
Round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, wire cutters, etc.

How to make this collar:

1. Start with two 24 pieces of WireKnitZ
2. Begin by gently separating the two sides of the
Navy Blue WireKnitZ tube. Carefully pull the
Silver Plate WireKnitZ strip through the Navy
Blue tube and align the cut edges at both ends.
NOTE: The long cooking tongs are handy for
opening the tight knit, and gripping and pulling the
coarse knit through the tight knit tube.
3. Gently flatten the new 24 WireKnitZ tube.
4. Cut the 6 20g silver wire in half and set aside.
5. Working with the flattened strip of WireKnitZ,
fold both cut ends over about 3/4, creasing fold.
6. Fold, or roll the sides toward each other and
evenly meet in the middle, as shown in the
diagram below.
7. Make a hook & eye clasp with the two pieces of 20g silver
wire by wrapping around the WireKnitZ ends as shown
here in the photo.





Or, to conceal the silver wrap, use the awl and puncture a
hole through the rolled ends about 1/2 from each end.
Feed the 20 g silver wires through the holes and wrap the
underside of the collar, making your hook & eye clasp.
8. Once the clasp is secure at both ends, stretch the top and
bottom sides, making your design. Be certain to stretch
the layered strips of WireKnitZ together.
9. Fold the stretched WireKnitZ down a third of the way to
create the layered look.
10. Wire assorted crystal beads, in your own unique way, to
the collar by using 2 segments of the 28g silver wire.
Helpful to know
Wire wrapping techniques.
WireKnitZ is a tubular wire knit. When the sides are
separated it becomes a hollow cylindrical knitted tube.
