This is a pattern for a bead crocheted necklace that features two distinct geometric shapes, diamonds and rectangles. The inter-play of these two shapes allows for lots of color variations. I chose the colors that Mardi Gras is known for, however, if you would like the necklace to be “bolder”, try using black, white and two primary colors. The sample is finished with a manufactured findings, but the pattern includes instructions for alternative finishing techniques, including beaded bead caps. The necklace is made using the slip stitch method of bead crochet, and is made exclusively with size #11 Japanese seed beads. It is crocheted 14-around.

Skill Level: Intermediate - Intermediate + (assuming a good working knowledge of the slip stitch method of bead crochet)
