This is a double viking knit chain. I found it much quicker to do this weave then the other weave I know.

About Me
- Nikki
- Apart from when I was a teenager I have always made things in one form or another. In the last few years I have discovered making jewellery and I believe that I have found what is right for me. I love making jewellery. I love to experiment whether it is out of precious metal and stones or a piece of recycled copper pipe and resin. I see my blog as a window into my world - my passion.

So how quick is quick?? And what other chaing? Details please!
beautiful chain.
Janice I have an article written by Michael David Sturlin which I found on Ganoskin a long time ago.
Its called Crocheting with gold - I cant seem to find a link to it now though.
Its a lovely weave it just takes forever!
Hey Nikki, this is LOVELY. I do viking knit too, and LOVE it! But have always done single knit. What gauge wire did you use in this double knit chain?
I had learnt two ways of doing the viking knit too. One was with a scriber or any pointy thing, and the other is knitting around a mandrel/dowel. The knitting around a mandrel or dowel is sooo much faster!
The chain looks just AWESOME!
Your double knit chain came out beautiful. I have been doing it for quit a while but mine never comes out looking so nice. How in the world did you get it to look so even. Mine doesn't have those nice points the "V"'s. Could you please tell me how you did that? Maybe it is the size of wire you are using or the size of dowel. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Cindy
Hi Cindy
Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog and for commenting. I appreciate it.
This is not a normal viking knit chain it is a double viking knit.
I love it because it seems to keep its shape much better then the single viking knit.
basically you feed the wire under the "e" behind the one you usually feed it behind there is a you tube video explaining this. I use 0.5mm sterling wire and a 3mm hex key as my mandrel. It seems to get even after pulling it through a drawplate. I hope that helps
