MorsePadAbout "I love you" in Morse code
The phrase I love you has 8 letters across 3 words, which become 24 Morse symbols: 12 dits (short signals) and 12 dahs (long signals). Sent at a standard 20 words per minute it takes about 5.7 seconds; at a beginner pace of 10 WPM, roughly twice that. The longest letter is L (.-..), and each letter is separated by a short pause, with a longer pause between words.
For a bracelet or necklace you need 12 small beads for dits, 12 long beads for dahs and 5 spacers between letters — 29 beads in all. The same pattern works as a minimalist tattoo, an engraving on a ring or watch, a knitted or cross-stitched design, or a hidden message on a card.
