While doing some research on making friendship bracelets I ran across a link for making cordage with a lucet. I have done this in the past and still have a small lucet. I did not find many patterns to cut a lucet so I made some up for the public at large. What is a lucet you say? It is a wood, bone, plastic forked tool to make decorative cord, for clothes for decoration, to use an bracelets, etc. You will need to click the image to get a full size picture to print. I put a few measurements on the image to help you size it as needed.
A lucet fork to quickly makes a drawstring for a hoodie, a cord for crafting, a lanyard for an ID, or even a keychain. Here's how to use one!
I’m excited to share this free tutorial for how to use a Lucet Fork! I am certain you will soon find a rhythm and make yards of cord with your Lucet Fork!
I'm having so much fun looking at all the DIY lucets people are creating for the 7 Day Lucet Challenge! People are posting their DIY lucets to Facebook and Instagram with the hashtag #7DayLucetChallenge, and the efforts range from super creative repurposing of found objects, to brilliant McGyver hacks, to masterful works of art! Although none of these options may feel as good in the hand as a Wool Tree Lucet (Dennis spent years refining the design based on customer feedback), they all totally do the job. Plus, they allow you to try out the skill before having to invest in a tool that you may not use after the challenge. Below is a round-up of 10 of my favorite ideas so far for DIY lucets that participants have shared with the #7DayLucetChallenge tag. First up: FOUND OBJECTS These require no extra work, just a little imagination in using something you already have in a completely different way. Hairpin Lace Loom Lucet Amber posted her clever Hairpin Lace Loom lucet to Facebook and it got me thinking. I use the AGeary Loom, and those lovely finials at the top of the prongs work really well for keeping loops on the tool! Weaving Shuttle Lucet Amanda (acd101 on Ravelry) used a weaving shuttle to make her first lucet cord. Absolutely brilliant! I love it when a fiber tool can be used in more than one way! Swiffer Duster Lucet Cordeliasbs on Instagram used the internals of a Swiffer Duster as a lucet! It looks like those little tabs on the side would actually help keep the loops on the tool as well! Camping Fork Lucet Cordeliasbs also found these Extendable Camping Forks, and thought they might make a decent lucet. I totally think they'd be worth a try, especially if you already have them around the house! (Available on Amazon here - affiliate link.) CLEVER HACKS All of these solutions are cobbled together from other objects. None of them appear to take that much time to put together. Plastic Toy Lucet Amber pointed out this wonderful lucet hack on Facebook. This lucet was created simply by drilling the hole through the tummy of this plastic ape!!! Totally whimsical and fun. Twig Lucet Here's one that will get you out into nature. On your next hike or gardening session, just look for a twig you can cut down into a lucet. Evelyn tried it and posted her results on Instagram. She says that she wishes it were more U shaped on top. Ultimate McGyver Lucet Kelly gets the prize for cobbling together the most awesome Lucet creation from common household items. She used an inhaler, 2 crochet hooks, rubber bands, wire ties and a key chain ring!!! (The only things she needs here is duct tape ;)) Sculpey Lucet Sherry sculpted this awesome lucet out of oven bake clay. Such a great way to rapidly prototype different lucet shapes to figure out what feels best in your hand! WORKS OF ART These lucets are not necessarily simple and one of them requires very specialized equipment. But they sure are beautiful. Big hat tip to the craftsmanship that went into them. Laser Cut Lucet Laura at Croshay Design not only created a gorgeous prototype lucet on her laser cutter, she is offering the scalable vector graphics file so that other people with a laser cutter and replicate her design. Just click on the link to access. Shrinky Dink Lucet Charlotte's shrinky dink lucet is truly a thing of beauty. I just love the drawings she did on it. I believe she used these instructions as a base for her pattern for anyone who would like to attempt a similar design, although she does say that she would have preferred flared sides. The most comprehensive guide to this ancient tool yet published! Do more with the yarn you already have! Learn to use this ancient Viking cording tool to make strong and very sturdy cords that you can use in so many ways. Make your knit and crochet projects even better. Use them to make drawstrings, lacings, buttons and embellishments for your knit and crochet projects. Also make jewelry, designer shoelaces, home improvement hacks and more with these strong cords.

Hello all - Jenny here. Wanted to take a sec and introduce Cooky Schock. She is a fibers/mixed media artist from San Diego. Former owner of The Shepherdess Bead store - that's how I met her during my tenure there. She is joining the team here at AJE, and you will get a full introduction soon, promise. These "Lucet" things really intrigue me - stop by at Beadfest for demos and more info. Cooky will be next to me at #462 in Artisan's Alley! Here's what she had to say: While researching different thread-made chains to use with my micro macrame work, I cam across and article about the lucent. Coincidentally, at the same time I saw a PBS special about the Vikings. In one scene in the background some men were making ropes using antlers as the tool. More research, more discoveries. Now fast forward to Medieval times where many objects of everyday use were hung by the waist with cords. Cords were used for drawing up bags to keeping up undies, etc. You name it and cords were involved! All these cords were handmade, usually on a simple but very essential implement known as the LUCET. This simple tool has been through many eras but the basic shape has remained constant. The fork design is the most common, but a lucent made of more precious material such as ivory. .tortoise shell or mother of pearl usually did not have a handle. My first lucent was created using a pickle fork and sawing off the center tines! The lucet I now sell are made from a variety of recycled exotic hardwoods made by a woodworker from Crickhowell, a small rural village in southern Wales. Any weight fiber can be used with any lucet and beads can be added as well. The braid itself is square and very strong. Besides using the cord for chain, you can create I-cord much easier and faster than knitting or crocheting. It’s such an easy tool to use that even children have fun working with it. If you’re at BeadFest, please come by my booth #462 in Artisan Alley and try out this fun little tool know as the lucet.
I wanted to know what a cord made from an ugly, uneven hand spun yarn would look like. Well, it’s not beautiful, but I suppose I can use it for something one day. I love making cords. I know,…

For those who are not so keen on knitting just a few stitches, I wanted to show you another way to get the same effect as a two-stitch knitted icord (or, as my mum calls it, "an iphone cord"!!!). It's so simple, even my four year old can do it! (Affiliate links to the supplies are marked with a '*') You will need: - A lucet (also called a 'knitting fork') - Suitable yarn for the size of your lucet.

Do you know about the Lucet Challenge I’ve been hosting? All it takes is (7) thirty minute sessions and you will gain a new skill. This is the kick off month and we’re at almost 1,000 knitters and crocheters who have joined up. It’s a FREE 7 day challenge to learn how to lucet. The coolest thing about the challenge is you don’t even need a lucet to join! I show you how to make a lucet out of things you’ve already got laying around the house. The challenge has grown into a community of fiber lovers and they are sharing their ideas online. (Links:Instagram, Twitter and Facebook with hashtag #7DayLucetChallenge). It’s been so cool for me to see people learning this ancient technique and making it their own. And there’s been such interesting project ideas as well! One of my favorite ideas is using lucet cord to “cast on” for Tunisian Crochet. (Would work great in knitting as well!) To help keep the energy going, I put together this bracelet. It uses variations on all the cords we learn in the challenge so you can apply what you've learned. It’s a great way to immediately practice all your new skills with a real project. The Challenge Bracelet is a “graduation gift” I give to everyone who completes the challenge. It comes as a fully-illustrated set of instructions. You can use it as inspiration to do something with your own yarn and findings, or you can buy the yarn kit and make the same bracelet I did. The idea is to show how you can use a small set of yarns, seed beads and common jewelry components to create a unique statement bracelet. This is a beginning level project so doable even if you've never tried jewelry before. And my hope is that it's a fun way to showcase your accomplishment: You've learned 6 new cords over the 7 days of the challenge! The bracelet is just one of several project ideas you’ll receive after signing up. Join us and not only learn to use your yarn and your lucet do new things, but also to make the knit and crochet you already do even better! Want the bracelet? Join the challenge! It’s free, it’s easy, it's fast & portable, and it will expand your thinking about your yarn. There really is no down side. :) The most comprehensive guide to this ancient tool yet published!

It is very smooth and light weight, easily turns in hand. Length: 17 cm. Width: 3 cm. A lucet is a tool used in cord making or braiding which is believed to date back to the Viking and Medieval periods, when it was used to create cords that were used on clothing, or to hang items from the belt. Lucet cord is square, strong, and slightly springy. It closely resembles knitted I-cord or the cord produced on a knitting spool. Lucet cord is formed by a series of loop like knots, and therefore will not unravel if cut. Unlike other braiding techniques such as kumihimo, finger-loop braiding or plaiting, where the threads are of a finite length, lucetted braids can be created without pre-measuring threads and so it is a technique suited for very long cords. Archaeological finds and a literary description of lucets strongly suggest that its use declined after the 12th century, but was revived in the 17th century.
