As you can check the fit whilst knitting, this should not be a major issue, making this project ideally suited to using up all types of yarn leftovers, especially sock yarn. If you decide to substitute the mercerised cotton with another type of yarn, the number of lace repeats will obviously differ. The completed piece should be wet-blocked (to open the lace detail) and left to dry over night. Beads can be attached to the ends of the i-cords for a more sophisticated finish. The choker is secured with the help of two dainty i-cords, which each measure approximately 20 cm in length.
Altogether, you should ensure that the body of the choker covers around 80% of the neck before the piece is blocked. The size of the choker can be adjusted easily for different neck circumferences and I recommend you check the fit whilst knitting. This will make the knitting experience much more enjoyable. Though it is possible to knit this project on wood or bamboo needles, I recommend the use of pointy, metallic dpns, especially if you are opting for the use of mercerised cotton yarn with this pattern. For this project I used just 5g of Scheepjes Maxi Sugar Rush mercerised cotton yarn and 2mm double-pointed needles (dpns).
