Transparent Lace Necklace Pattern

 

The Transparent Lace Necklace pattern is made by doing rows of basic net weave stitch using the cylinder Delica beads by Miyuki. If you would prefer, you can use any size seed beads too. It works up fast and you can make it as long or short as you like. It can also be easily made into a bracelet.


A = Miyuki DELICA 11° bead, #783, 62*
B = Miyuki DELICA 11° bead, #778, 52*

  *Bead Counts are per repeat,
    repeat is approximately 1"

Start by waxing and stretching your thread, use Nymo D or C-Lon & a #11 or #12 beading needle. I used Fireline 6lb. crystal.  Tie in a "stopper" bead, leaving about an 8" tail and begin at step #1.
