Woolly wires--have you ever seen anything this cute! I love these knitted power cords. They look so friendly and almost chic. They can be worn as a skinny scarf, a fun headband or a decorative belt.
I would love to have one as a cool accessory and wear it round my neck as a form of woolly necklace. The power cords pictured above are in fact a pattern for sale to all knitting enthusiasts. You can use your leftover yarns or recycle an old sweater’s yarn.
But watch out: The pattern is not to be used for commercial purposes.
