View Full Version : Little Rocks so earthy

I found these little rocks and used wooden beads and made this I call it earthy. I will try to explain how I did this: First of all I have been using other patterns see crocheting with beads I think there are patterns there and now have started tweaking them. On this one I strung the wood beads 28 of them added the toggle peice strung 28 tiny rocks added toggle. Chain 6 put on the toggle and slip stitch to first chain create a loop home for toggle peice. chained 4 then did 4 puff stitch, which was DC in 3rd chain from hook leaving last stitch on hook ending having 5 loops on hook, string the rock and then finish the stitch yo and through all 5. Then continue untill all 28 rocks done. then add the last toggle same as the first chain six add toggle then slip stitch into first ch to create a home for it and continue back down the other side. now chain 3 and bring up a wooden bead but you have to slip stich it going from behind to make it secure and stay in front of the necklace. Chain 3 again and bring up the next bead and slip stitch it coming from the back side to make it stay in front again and continue to end tie a really good knot your done.
Please forgive the wanta be directions the only hope is that if you know how to crochet you might get my drift and others after doing it may be able to explain alot better. Or see other patterns I have posted links for then start experimenting yourself.
