How to make a Viking Knit Bracelet | Single, Double, Triple knits

[@ladybdeloreswhitney_CM_CCH_PCM]

Although this is 10/09/2023, this is the 1st tutorial, that has made sense to me. And I am now using all of my tools to get this bracelet and end caps done. Thank you so much. You are a wonderful teacher.

[@robertpritchard1225]

Your tutorials are amazing... Just the best. Made my first Viking double knitt braclet. 🙂 Came out quite well thanks to you ❤.. Thank you so much...

[@juliahelland6488]

Best step by step I've seen. Can you please show/explain the patina and polish process? Thanks for sharing your talent! ❣

[@wykedcrafter6789]

I would like to see that process too! 💯😊

[@janiez4394]

I was about to ask her where she bought the patina

[@michaelkoester8821]

Great tutorial. Thank you. I couldnt figure out the flower at the beginning so instead I drilled a 1/16" hole about 1/4" deep every 6mm around a 3/8" dowel then put toothpicks in each hole to hold the wire. 5 holes spaced at 6mm is equidistant around a 3/8" dowel which happens to have a 30mm circumference. Adjust yours accordingly. When I was done I just pulled the toothpicks out and the knit slid right off.

[@jadeheart911]

I was digging in my tool box for something to do the Viking knit and realized my screwdrivers have "channels" or ridges down the sides of the handle grip that works so much better for me to keep the rows of loops straight as I go. Works pretty good !

[@SailingStrayCatz]

A business card works nicely for the wraps for you flower.

[@wonderwoman8894]

I have watched other tutorials on how to make a similar style but involves annealing several times, soldering and not to mention the many tools I would have to purchase. I am so happy I stumbled on your tutorial. Thank you for this lovely gift of learning how to make this gorgeous piece. Your instruction is easy to understand and thoroughly explained. I love the chunkier piece, actually, I love them all! I can't wait to try this! Thank you ❤

[@debbieg6921]

Great tutorial!! My sick Father has been asking me to make him a bracelet for a while now, this is perfect. Thank you for taking the time to teach us your wonderful skills 🤩😍

[@rorybrown1799]

I love your bracelets,the Viking style is very nice and unique,I plan on making one of these in the future, thanks again for sharing this, it's awesome!!!

[@sherryslr]

I've watched this over and over as I have figured out how to finish my second Viking weave bracelet. Thank you so much for the easy to follow, detailed discussions. This is so helpful.

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

Thanks so much for that wonderful feedback!

[@melissanicklin692]

I know this tutorial is over 3 years old, however, as I couldn't figure out how to attach my end caps to findings, this was SO helpful. Thank you!

[@trasure435]

To extend the life of the cutters, I use a rasp file to clean up nicks, sharpen the blade and smooth the flush side. It keeps old ones alive and also makes junky new ones viable.

[@JadedBelle]

I'm super late to this comment but I've never sharpened my flush cutters. Is there a particular method to do this properly?

[@Sheepdog1314]

thank you....I save the scraps and snippets and melt them down into pendants to hang off the clasps

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

Good thinking!

[@dianegriffin1743]

Oh my God! I cannot believe I actually made this I think it's beautiful and you can't tell that someone that had no idea what they were doing did it.. Lol I have one of those tools to make this thing and I bought it years ago and I've tried to do it several times but it's so frigging confusing ! You are amazing you made this so easy to follow your instructions to be able to make something that is truly absolutely beautiful.. I can't thank you enough I'm totally gon to make these bracelets.

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

This made me so happy!!! Great job!

[@cherylburkitt9722]

That was so cool.. pulling it through the holes.. awesome bracelet ❤😊

[@Hijodelaluna35]

Thanks from Turkey! The most explanatory video I have seen.

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

I appreciate your feedback thanks so much!

[@wireuwrapped]

This is a great tutorial on how to do the Viking knit. I have watched a few others and there are none that are so clearly videoed and precise. Thank you. I just did my first one but it’s not as pretty as yours and I still have to make the pull tool😉

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you and good luck! If you need help or have questions about something let me know...I’m thinking about doing a troubleshooting video

[@SebastienFortin07]

Your explanations are very clear. Thank you so much!

[@bellslinki]

Watching this was very relaxing you have a nice voice. Lovely bracelet!

[@stevenr.hooper7869]

Great tutorial! My first piece of jewelry & it came out great. In the tumbler right now. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!

[@luckysuzful]

This is such a beautiful bracelet! I've never done a Viking weave before but your step-by-step tutorial is giving me the confidence to try! Thanks so much for sharing. I just found your channel not long ago so I'm excited to devour your other tutorials.

[@gregorycaceres520]

Will I made one following your directions. Definitely not as easy as you make it look. The knitting part was the easiest part. Did a double knit. Used about 21 feet of wire for that and ended up cutting off about 2 inches after I drew it though the board. The hardest part is the fit and finish when making and attaching the clasp. You said that was the worst one you've ever made. You should have seen mine! You've definitely got talent. All in all even with the problems I had an enjoyable process. I'll be making more for gifts. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and skills. I saw you have a shop on Etsy. I'll be stopping by there to buy something. Thanks again!

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

Yeah the end components are definitely the most difficult part - at least for me too! Glad you watched and had a good experience!

[@Sal-ec4yf]

Thank you for this video! I’m snowed in this weekend and don’t have all of the right tools, but I have wire and a Sharpie so I’m going to give it a try!

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

Yes! Glad to hear! Well sorry your snowed in but glad you’re trying out the Viking knit!

[@shirleybowen1968]

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@shaunhall960]

Nice! I plan on incorporating this Viking weave into my Celtic jewelry. I do a lot of engraving and this weave will compliment my designs. Thank you!

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

You're welcome!

[@barbaracabrera207]

Beautiful piece. Thx for vid. Austin,TX USA

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

[@anitasavoy6062]

Awesome lesson. I am going to start one for my husband tomorrow. Loved the lesson. It was very easy to follow.

[@anitasavoy6062]

Watching the Renegade Ring lesson now. I thought it would go great with the Viking Bracelet for my hubby.

[@michelletanner948]

Thank you thank you I finally found someone I can understand and fallow with this that I have always been wanting to try now I have the conference to try it. You're the best!!! Keep um coming!😁💖

I can’t believe I’ve been on KZbin for ever, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen your channel !!! 😳😡. I repeatedly search for wire tutorials. New subbie definitely. Your work is beautiful and I have a lot of catching up to do 😂

[@terrain-hardy]

Really a great tutorial, just awesome ;-) many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work ;-)

[@gregorycaceres520]

Love the video. You inspired me to make one for myself. Now my wife wants one too so I think I'm going to be busy for a while. Great job. Love you thanks!

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

Yes! Get to work making beautiful jewelry for your wifey! Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the vudeo.

[@davidwadsworth6500]

Love this, I’m going to start, my mum used to be into making jewellery so I’ll need to see what tools she still has and what I’ll need to get, I’ll probably make my own draw board

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

That’s great David! Good luck to you! Let me know if you have more questions along the way.

[@carloscabrera3026]

Excellent explanation and beautiful exponent. Congratulations

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

Thank you! Thanks for watching.

[@scottbenson8105]

I’m going to make a Viking knit out of Argentium 935 silver with 30 gage and doing the triple knit weave. I also just bought the PEPETOOLS jump ring maker and it’s sooo easy to use I love it

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

Awesome! That should turn out 😍

[@susanwood6509]

Thank You I have kept a copy of this so I can refer back to it when I am making it.

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

Good idea ;)

[@bc91723]

Thank you for doing this tutorial. It was great and I loved the way you explained every step. I will definitely make this . I think the hook would look better if it was a little bit smaller even if it’s for a man.

[@jenniferthompson6414]

What a beautiful design and very helpful tutorial. I just made a couple in different color wire I had on hand and it turned out pretty cool. Thank you for the tutorial on your design, love it! ❤️

[@angelaburrow8114]

Jennifer, what sort of wire did you use. I'm assuming not the one with colour plating because that might be damaged when using the drawplate, but the coloured aluminium one. Is that right? 🙂

[@jenniferthompson6414]

I got it from dollar tree it might be color plated I just used it for practice before I get real copper wire, still turned out really nice tho for first time trying. I loved this design and thank u for sharing ur talent and designs!!

[@SKochc]

Hey Jennifer 🌹, good morning 🌞 how are you feeling today ?

[@jat919]

I think I'll be giving this a try! Thanks for another great tutorial!

I knew this was cool, but I didn’t know that I would end up needing to make some...who’d a thunk? You got me. Immediately actually..

[@АнтонМан-ч9к]

Great vid. Very informative and well filmed. Nice job!

[@annnoyez]

Thanks I will sure try it. For jumprings u cut them on by on and make sure both ends are flush. So you cut the first on flush at the beginning, then you turn your cutter and flushcut the jumpring. Then you clean up your wire for the second jumpring. And you cut it flush for the second jumpring. Etc. So you have to be aware you wil lose som wire at the end if you make the coils perfect size. So I put some extra wire and so your jumprings are nice and flush on both sides. It's a bit more work vit you have beautiful julpribgs without using a special tool. Thank you in for this tutorial... I think I will try it with a thicker wire too. Like a 22 gauge wire. Because my 24 gauge wire seems like a bit thin er than yours. I need only that tool to use to get the bracelet true. Gonna try to find it. U am from Belgium and we are terrible to wor k with copper wire. Everybody uses aluminium. And I don't like that. It's too soft. So it's even hard to find good wire. I buy it in the USA or I use electrical cord. Lol.

[@myrrim1291]

Very good video. Clear closeups

Ive never done metal work before (except for some crochet earrings) but now I can't stop!! I made my own draw plate last night and Ive made 3 bracelets! Thank you so much for this tutorial, my friends are going to be surprised at their new gifts 😅 I am so excited to start incorporating this into my jewelry. My fingers definitely hurt, do you find you develop calluses after a bit, or am I doing it wrong?

[@reginabayles1169]

WHAT AN INTRICATE, INVOLVED PROJECT, AND PEOPLE THINK IT SHOULD BE 'GIVEN AWAY/SOLD FOR CHEAP'. SUCH A GREAT JOB, 👍😀👏👌, AND YOUR NAILS ARE SOOOO STRONG; BENDING 16 GAUGE WIRE, WOOOO HOOOO!!!!! GREAT JOB 👍, GREAT 👍👏👌JOB!!!!!

Dear Kelly, I'm from Germany and unfortunately I don't speak English very well. I hope you understand me. I love your videos. Can you tell me what material you used for your Viking bracelet that you are wearing in the video? Kind regards and many thanks. Martina

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

Yes the one I'm wearing is made using 24 gauge sterling silver wire (for the weave) and 16 gauge wire for the end components. Danke!!!!

[@tommysobo123]

Damn you're adorable! The bracelet technique is cool too.

[@ВалерийК-е2з]

Красивое плетение. Очень трудоёмко. Удачи!.

[@theresanolan8416]

Thanks for the great tutorial. I have a question if I may. I am finding that I need to clip the end of wire around every 2 or 3 loops. Is this normal?

[@anjairis]

Very nice. I needed a cap tutorial. Btw are you both the Siren AND the Pirate or is there a sneaky pirate hiding somewhere (because you have to be the siren imo)?

[@dannytierney5568]

Many thanks for this, I've watched a few other vids. which are over complicated and seem more interested in selling you something like a plastic tube with x2 holes through and a top with a few more for $25+ which on a small state pension I find exorbitant ! I've subscribed and will give this a go, thanks again

JaNetNMelissaWise You are very welcome! Thanks for the great feedback and good luck on your Viking knits :)

[@jeffallen3382]

What is the type of silver bracelet that you are wearing in this video? That looks nice! Thank you for doing this video tutorial.

[@sykotikmommy]

Thank you so much for this video. The tool you're talking about when making the jump rings is a jeweler's saw, isn't it? My husband was an apprentice jeweler years ago.

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

Yes! You’re right! I’ve since learned what that was and have been using one as I’m getting into some metal smithing.

[@sykotikmommy]

@@TheSirenandThePirate that's wonderful!

[@DebyNieto-kq2ci]

This is beautiful., so are you saying you could make a single or double weave bracelet with 1 wingspan of wire ?

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

You have to keep adding wire as you weave.

[@DebyNieto-kq2ci]

@@TheSirenandThePirate Sorry,I got so excited about this I asked the question in the middle of the video. I am now looking at a new combo of the Lazee Daizee Viking Knit Tool, both sizes and the draw plate ( all 3 pieces ) for about 36.00. I cant wait to start. Thank you.

[@АнтонМан-ч9к]

Long comment. I am from Russia. If you made something beatiful someone can say: "Wow, you have golden hands!". You like Midas turn everything in gold by touching. "U tebya (you have) zolotie (golden) ruki (hands). U tebya zolotie ruki!

[@rhaven50]

Thanks so much for sharing. I know what I'm doing tomorrow!

[@xhaflairejewerly9972]

This looks so great. But can anyone tell me approximately how much wire is needed for a single viking knit bracelet, women size. Thank you.....

[@TheSirenandThePirate]

There are lots of variables that will determine the amount of wire that will be needed. The size of dowel/tool you are weaving around, the amount of loops /rows you start with, if you are doing a single/double/or triple weave, how far down you draw your weave and the length of bracelet. I'm working on a Q&A video to answer questions like this and to share how I keep track of the amount of wire I use to make a slew of different sizes and styles of bracelets.
