Wedding Lace #1 Necklace Pattern



This beautiful necklace pattern is a pattern from my eBook "Wedding Lace Necklace Patterns", It is also one of my most stolen patterns 😕. 

I thought that since this pattern is being shared without considering my copyright at all, that I should let beaders have this pattern from me. This is the complete pattern so you can make the necklace for yourself. It is a great sample of the other patterns that available in my Wedding book. All these patterns can also be made with any color that you would like. so not just for weddings but for any occasion.
