A simple and elegant chain of beads accented with lace fans.

To make the lace more delicate this design uses a 1.25 mm hook and size 20 crochet cotton. Size 20 crochet cotton is the same thickness as pearl cotton #8, or 4-ply sewing thread worked together. Any of these alternatives can be substituted.

This pattern begins with instructions on crocheting a chain of beads in a way that allows you to crochet along the sides of the beads.

The fans are crocheted in short rows and are worked one at a time along the chain. That means that the pattern can be easily adjusted for different lengths.
