Help me identify this UFO

Not sure on the size, nothing to reference, but maybe a ponytail holder.

Eta Nevermind, I thought it said too little for a headband. Nope, then too big for ponytail holder. No idea.

infinity scarf?
Any chance it's actually an accessory one of the kids lost rather than intended as a valentine? (was it labeled like a valentine?)

It’s too small for a scarf. More necklace size. It’s for sure a Valentine. I’m class parent and saw the bag that had 23 of these things. 😳

It looks like a necklace to me. I’ve seen some patterns as a “easy” or kids fiber arts craft that look a lot like this.

Finger knitting maybe? It’s like the necklace version of a friendship bracelet.

tacokick, I feel like you might know!

It looks like finger knitting.

I'd hold on to it until the end of the week. Maybe tomorrow all the kids will be using them as book straps or whatever and then you'll know what it's for

Google lens brought up finger knit necklaces.

I wouldn't feel bad throwing it out, there were lots of kids videos so it seems like an easy kid craft for a kid who's into that.

Ha! I think we posted at the same time! It looks like finger knitting to me or maybe just hooking loops together? Some classmate is crafty!

I was going to go with bookmark that you loop around the book page/cover. Or maybe bracelet/anklet?

But definitely finger weaving.

Looks a lot like this: www.whistleandivy.com/finger-knit-cowl-tutorial/

Aww! Someone has been finger knitting! It may not be a specific design. It may just be 15 minutes of work done on the couch while watching TV. Definitely amateur finger knitting and not something that much time went into. (We finger knit chains like this for fun.)

Thanks all!! I'm going to go with a necklace. I am very impressed this child made 23 of these. My kid only made it through about half of signing his name on his skittle bags before I just did the rest myself. LOL

I'll throw it in the dress up bin for a few weeks before I trash it.
