Viking Knit stitch mechanics

This video shows you how to make Viking Knit wirework in miniature, using a blunt tapestry needle. . This is the correct working orientation to achieve consistent results for the self-tensioning even loops of standard Viking Knit. I have been researching this construction method and the crucial thing is the direction of the work; it enables you to hold the cord vertically, out of the way, while taking the next loop. In this way the stitches become compact and uniform.
