Begin by placing the yarn tail in the palm of your non-dominant hand. Leave it 6 to 12 inches long, as this will form one side of your necklace for adjustable length.

With the working yarn still attached to the ball, weave it over and under your fingers, moving toward your pinky.

Continue this pattern until you have two loops on each finger.

Starting with your ring finger, lift the bottom loop (closest to your palm) over the top loop and off your finger.

Weave the yarn over and under your fingers again to form two loops per finger, then repeat: pull the bottom loop over the top. Continue until a chain forms.
