The Perlina is a beautiful, unique design that incorporates beads into your crocheted piece. It is a bracelet in this pattern, but you can make a piece that is as long or short as you like for a choker, strap, watchband, etc. This pattern is easily adaptable to a variety of items, and can be easily modified with different yarn weights, hooks, and types of beads. I give some ideas and suggestions in the notes at the beginning and at the end of the pattern.

The Perlina is a very different type of crochet pattern. It is very important that you read through all of the notes before choosing your yarn, beads, and fasteners.
