This week we explore the ancient technique of Viking knit a little further and discover how to use the method to bezel around a cabochon.

You will learn how to:

·       Create a supporting framework for your Viking knit

·       Create evenly spaced starting stitches

·       Achieve the right tension in order to securely and centrally hold your cabochon

·       Create a simple bail or connection points for your cabochon

Materials you will need:

·       0.8 or 1mm wire

·       0.4mm wire

·       2 Cabochons – I recommend ovals or rounds and no smaller than 35mm diameter/width/height.

·       Beads and finding to finish your pieces.

Tools you will need

·       Round Nose Pliers

·       Chain nose pliers

·       Wire cutting pliers
