...but never fear! I called my crochet skills into action and voila, I made a new one:
I used a stitch called Star Stitch, something I've never previously tried but thought it looked pretty and made for a great lanyard. I loosely based it on this tutorial. I made it a little too long for my liking (I chained 76, which in hindsight was too many- 68 or 66 might have been better options), but besides that, I am really proud of the result. I definitely want to use this stitch again somehow...
It didn't take all that long to make either, about 1.75ish hours. I used 100% cotton yarn, because I wanted minimal stretch and a 2.5mm hook. It's going to feel weird going back up to a 4mm when I make my next garment! Was a nice quick little project to do, especially after all the Christmas stuff, which all took ages! Catch you in the next one xo
