This is a pattern tutorial to make a necklace that can be used for a teething baby or while nursing/feeding your baby. My friend suggested this to help her 5 month old focus when being fed--he gets distracted by so many visual things while eating.

Supplies:
What you’ll need are some wooden beads--I used round 1 inch wooden beads--you can find these at a craft store.
Aran (or worsted) weight yarn, like Vanna’s choice.
A G crochet hook.
Some ribbon or extra yarn to chain a necklace
And a yarn needle for sewing in ends/threading beads onto the necklace.

Abbreviations:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
sc2tog = single crochet 2 together
ss = slip stitch

Gauge: Not really important, but try not to crochet TOO tightly as it will be harder to get the bead inside the crocheted outer “cup.”
