Wow some amazing necklace designs here and all very nautical, love the shape of the last on with the cream knot.
Thanks for sharing
Would like free nautical necklace patterns. They are beautiful.
I would love to learn to make the nautical necklaces. I have never braided anything in my life. But my husband of thirty years has had near death health issues . And I think he and I would enjoy making these for Christmas gifts! Plus this will change our thoughts of worry to thoughts of being creative! Please post the instructions so we can give it a try. Our funds are very low due to health issues but if they are free and on line I would love to try to learn to braid.
