Victoria meets Cleopatra in this supremely surprising six-row beaded collar, where no stitch is what it seems. Sleight-of-hook techniques yield a strong yet feminine collar with a dainty bead trim and a single-button closure.

HOOK Size G/6 (4.0 mm) and smaller steel hook for invisible join. Adjust hook size if necessary to obtain correct gauge.

NOTIONS Size 6º beads, about 105; 1 fashion button, shank style, about ½“ diameter; 1 thin, flat 2-hole backing button, about 3⁄8” diameter; wire needle for stringing beads.

GAUGE: 19 sts = 4”.

If you’d like to make your own beaded button to coordinate with the bead trim, you may find a tutorial here:
