Finished Length: 40″ long

Step 1: Thread 158 seed beads onto your Aunt Lydia’s Classic 10 Cotton Thread with a small needle, or using a Big Eye Beading Needle (the brand I have is Beadalon and I purchased a 4 pack at Michaels)

R1: (ch 3, slide 2 beads down) 79 times, ch 4, turn

R2: Beg in the 2nd ch from the hook, 1 sl st in each of the next 2 chs, sl st in the next ch, between the loops the beads are on and the other 2 loops of the ch st. *Ch 3, skip 2 chs, 1 sl st in the next ch in both remaining loops (the beads are on the 3 rd loop)* repeat from * to * 77 times. 1 sl st in each of the remaining 3 chs. Finish off and sew the two ends together. Weave in ends.

Remember to begin in the 2nd ch from the hook and then work 1 sl st in each of the next 2 chs. Then 1 sl st under both loops of the ch securing the bead.

This makes your completed 40″ long necklace. You can wear it like this – it is very delicate and quite lovely!

Or you can pick it in your hands – one hand on each end of the strand and then twist it gently so it winds about itself (not too tight!).

Then use the following clasp to secure the two ends you were holding together to wear this pretty necklace as a choker style instead! When worn as a choker it is approximately 20″.

Clasp:

Step 1: Thread 2 beads onto your Crochet Cotton Thread.

Ch 3, 8 sc in the 2nd ch frm the hook, sl st to the 1st sc to join. Chain 8 slide 2 beads down, ch 1, turn and sl st back in each of the ch 8. Finish off and weave in ends.

To make a pretty bracelet to match follow these instructions:

Forever Summer Bracelet

Finished Length: 16″ long

Step 1: Thread 64 seed beads onto your Aunt Lydia’s Classic 10 Cotton Thread with a small needle, or using a a Big Eye Beading Needle.

R1: (ch 3, slide 2 beads down) 32 times, ch 4, turn

R2: Beg in the 2nd ch from the hook, 1 sl st in each of the next 2 chs, sl st in the next ch, between the loops the beads are on and the other 2 loops of the ch st. *Ch 3, skip 2 chs, 1 sl st in the next ch in both remaining loops (the beads are on the 3 rd loop)* repeat from * to * 30 times. 1 sl st in each of the remaining 3 chs. Finish off and sew the two ends together. Weave in ends.

You can wrap this around your wrist twice as is or using the same method to twist/wind the bracelet about itself. You can either use the same clasp as above or you can sew the ends together and slide this over your hand to wear on your wrist. The finished length when twisted is approximately 8″.
