Luceta

Luceta is a lariat made out of a long beaded cord. This cord can be made either with a lucet or with I-Cord. Square Japanese seed beads in three colors are used to create a modern and distinctive necklace.

Luceta was originally a kit for March's shipment for Lola’s Choice (Laura’s super fun small knitted kit club).
Kits are now available here.

The pattern includes a detailed instructional video to support you in using a lucet, believed to first be used by the Vikings to create cord.
