And then there were two...

Bead N Bezel Necklace 

PATTERN:

4mm hook

Stylecraft Batik used for this particular necklace but you could use any dk or 4ply

 About 9 beads make a good size necklace but yo can make as many as you need. DK yarn or finer but the finer the yarn the more sc [dc], you will need to do to fill the finger wrap.

 finger wrap of 10 wraps

 ROUND 1: 14sc [14dc], into the finger wrap, sl st to complete.

 ROUND 2: Cover the first 14sc [14dc], with 33sc [33dc], approx. another two rounds, sl st to complete, cut off and weave in end.

 ROUND 3: Att bezel yarn in any st, 2sc [2dc], in every st, this can vary by 1 or 2sts, on each bead, no need to count them it isn't that important they are all identical.

 ROUND 3: Second bead, 2sc [2dc], into half of the sts, again its approx. then do 2sc [2dc] into one extra sts, approx 18 cont. [36sc (36dc)]

 ROUND 3: Cont. to do 1 or 2sts, more than half of each bead until you reach the last bead.

 CHAIN CORD: ch approx, 60sts, longer or shorter if you require. be careful not to swist the necklace. 

 Att. ch, cord to the first bezel at approx half way,with a sl, 

 Return along the ch, on the side of the unfinished beads, 1sc [1dc], in each st

 when you reach the first unfinished bead n bezel, continue with the 2sc [2dc], in each st, of first bead

 when you reach the next bead sl st around the joining st.

 Continue with 2sc [2dc], in every st, and sl st, on the joining sts, until you reach the first completed bezel, sl around the joining st, leave a long end to sew off securely.

 The Bead N Bezel necklaces can be made in a selection of colours or in just one colour.

A doughnut for a button,

A Gem...fill the hole completely about 50-60+ sc [dc]. 

NOTE: How many sts you need will depend on your tension the figures are a guide, but all your button or Gems need to me made the same, so after the first one, make all buttons and Gems with the same number of sc [dc]

cut off and leave a long end for sewing 

turn the bezel inside out and reshape, pull long end through middle st, 

place a Gem inside the cup bezel pulling end through the middle of the bezel, 

the gem should sit snug inside the bezel,

Tie the two ends together one from the gem and one from the bezel

sew off the gem thread and use the bezel thread to join the gems in bezels 

together. 

Thread the long end to one side of the Gem, over stitch with small stitches the the next Gem.

Make several and sew together in a straight line for a bracelet or with a slight curve for a necklace.

LENGTHENER

Row 1: sc [dc], in every ch st sew off end securely

HAPPY HOOKING

Make a set of Gems in the colour of your choice and join together in a variety of different designs.

In a triangle of 3, in a long row long enough to make a complete necklace, or join 7, 8 or 9 Gems together for a necklace

or 5 together as a bracelet or make a statement ring with a singe Gem

 This necklace is made in Merino and Alpaca

TIP

Before we start part 4 a TIP: check your first row of 'v' stitches, don't do what I did and find on the 2nd return row about 6" in, I had only done half of the 'v' stitch and had to rip back 12" of work.
