The Circle Drop Necklace
pattern is so simple to make, but big on looks. Use the fire-polished crystals
as shown in the sample, for a casual addition to a pair of jeans. Or you can
use Swarovski crystals for a necklace that is suitable for an evening out. This
is another necklace that you can make in a couple of hours
A = Miyuki11/0 seed bead, color 1
B = Miyuki 11/0 seed bead, color 2
C = 4, 5, 6 or 7mm fire-polished
Start by waxing and stretching your thread, use Nymo D or C-Lon
& a #11 or #12 beading needle. Tie in a “stopper” bead, leaving about an 8”
tail and begin at step #1.
1. a) Pick up 9A, 1B, 8A, go with thread forward through the 9 A and 1 B beads just added in this step.
b) Pick up 3B, go with thread right to left, through the B bead, up through the 8 A beads and left to right through the 1st A, added in step #1a.
b) Pick up 3B, go with thread right to left, through the B bead added in step # 2a, and forward through the 1st B bead just added in this step.
3. a) Pick up 5A, 1C, 1A, go with thread up through
the C bead just added in this step.
b)
Pick up 5A, go with thread up through the 3rd B bead, step
#1b or step #2b, right to left, through the B bead added in step #1a or step #2a,
up through the 8 A beads added in step #1a or step #2a, left to right, through
the 1st A bead added in step #1a (first time only) or the
5th A bead (of the 9A) added in step #2a (every time after) and through the 1st
through 5th A beads added in the next repeat of step #2a to the
right as shown.
4. Continue necklace by
repeating steps #2a through step #3b until you reach the length that you want
your necklace to be.
To add clasp, Pick up 4A, clasp, 4A, go with thread up through 2 A beads added in the last repeat of step # 2b. Continue with
thread around through the clasp beads several times. Weave in and end thread.
Repeat the clasp directions in the same manner on the other end after removing
the stopper bead.
