Those of you following my work over the years know how fond I am of modularity and repetitive elements , I love the patterns created by assembling similar elements together, I love the rhythm they create, and I also love making them ... when you are making the same element again and again, it give you an opportunity to know it more deeply than if you just meet and say goodbye.
I can't recall what was the target that sent me exploring the links I can make using wire knitted tubes, maybe it was the scrap drawer that I have that has quite a few crocheted tubes in it.
The first design I tried was a rather complex one (the green one), made of 4 pieces combined together into an organic looking rather large element.
From there I moved into making a second link that was supposed to look the same, ha ha ! I changed my mind while in the making and made it a tiny bit simpler (the ochre one).
Coming next was a simpler version of just one piece of tube closed into a fish eye looking link, this one started to make sense to me , it was simple enough to get going and soon a marvelous statement necklace came out of it !
yeyy !
Think I stopped there ? .... think again !
there is always more where this is coming from ,
one link followed the next and when I reached the number 8 , I decided it's time to stop.
but many more variations are hiding there for you to discover.
In order to create these links you should first be able to make YoolaTubes with 12 stitches.
In the pattern I explain in detail how to make 8 different LINKS.
