Instructions
Main Piece
-
Cut the Cord: Measure and cut a length of ivory cord approximately 22 inches (56 cm) for your anklet, ensuring you have ample length for tying.

Daisy Appliqués:
- Center: Using yellow yarn, create a small circle with a magic ring.
- Petals: For each petal, ch 4, then sl st in the first ch to form a loop, and repeat for a total of 5 petals around the yellow center.
- Attach the Leaves: With sage green yarn, form two small leaves by chaining 5, then sc in the second ch from the hook, hdc in the next, and dc in the last. Attach each leaf next to the daisies using a tapestry needle.
-
Positioning the Daisies: Sew the daisies along the front of the ivory cord, spacing them about two inches apart. Secure them well so they stay in place during wear.
Adjustable Tie Closure
- Tie Closure: Create a slip knot at one end of the cord and another slip knot at the opposite end. This allows you to adjust the anklet for a comfortable fit around your ankle.
- Secure Knots: Make sure all knots are tight to prevent any slipping, ensuring both strength and durability.
Tips for the Best Result
- Comfort is Key: Make sure the anklet is snug but not too tight; it should sit comfortably against your skin.
- Secure Your Daisies: When attaching the flower appliqués, reinforce them by sewing through multiple layers of the cord for added stability.
- Experiment with Colors: Feel free to mix and match the colors for the daisies to create unique variations for different outfits.
