Product Description
This pattern is designed to use just a small amount of luxurious yarn…perhaps a sampler or mini-skein of that beloved hand paint, or the leftovers from a favorite sweater. Though it is styled as a necklace in the photos, one could just as easily knit a longer icord for a belt or waist tie, or perhaps use it tied around ones’ hair. Beads can easily be eliminated if you don’t have any handy, but it does add a nice sparkle.

Eleanor Tilney's Garden Necklace
What is Being Made
Eleanor Tilney's Garden Necklace is a knitted jewellery piece designed by Kirsti Johanson. This wearable accessory combines textile craftsmanship with jewellery design, creating a decorative necklace through knitting techniques. The piece draws inspiration from literary references to garden walks and natural settings, translating that aesthetic into a wearable knitted form.
Craft and Techniques
This project is created using knitting as the primary craft method. The necklace demonstrates advanced-level knitting skills, making it suitable for experienced knitters who have mastered fundamental techniques and are ready to tackle more complex construction methods. The design requires understanding of how to shape and structure knitted fabric into a jewellery-appropriate form.
Stitches and Construction
While specific stitch names are not detailed in the available pattern information, advanced knitting necklaces typically employ a combination of foundational stitches worked with precision to create the desired drape, texture, and structural integrity needed for a wearable piece. The construction likely involves careful stitch selection to achieve both aesthetic appeal and durability suitable for jewellery wear.
Materials
This pattern calls for DK weight yarn, which is a medium-weight yarn ideal for creating detailed, refined knitted jewellery with good stitch definition. Knitting needles appropriate for DK weight yarn are required to complete this project. The DK weight provides a balance between fabric density and delicate appearance, making it well-suited for decorative necklace construction.
Pattern Format
Eleanor Tilney's Garden Necklace is available as a free downloadable PDF pattern from Travelling Stitch Sisters, making it accessible to knitters seeking advanced jewellery projects without cost.
