  Step 1

  Sketch your own drawing of hands knitting or use my one for your template.

• 

  Step 2

  Trace the hands onto clear shrink plastic.

• 

  Step 3

  Start by sketching the outline in pencil.

• 

  Step 4

  Use a darker pencil to add shading.

• 

  Step 5

  Use a fine liner to trace over the outlines and shading hatches.

• 

  Step 6

  Take a black sharpie and use to add the darkest shadows.

• 

  Step 7

  To add some extra shading, add the shadows in black sharpie and then use your finger to smudge the ink inwards, blending away as you go.

• 

  Step 8

  Use a metallic pen to colour in the knitting needles and nails. I used pink for the nails and gold for the needles.

• 

  Step 9

  Leave your drawing to dry.

• 

  Step 10

  Carefully cut around the outline of your drawing, using a cutting knife to remove the gaps between the hands and the needles.

• 

  Step 11

  Use a hole punch to punch a hole at the top of either arm.

• 

  Step 12

  Shrink down the necklace in a hot oven until small and then press flat under a book.

• 

  Step 13

  When cool, gather your crochet hook and wire.

• 

  Step 14

  Tie one end of the wire around a knitting needle and then use the crochet hook to crochet a chain.

• 

  Step 15

  Make a chain long enough to reach the other hand and then tie around the second needle.

• 

  Step 16

  Crochet another row or two.

• 

  Step 17

  Tie off the wire, looping it over and under the needles and fingers a few times to look like knitting.

• 

  Step 18

  Attach a jump ring to either arm.

• 

  Step 19

  Attach to a necklace chain and you're done!
