It is knitted with 26 gauge gold filled wire and 5 different kinds of Swavorski crystals. It was knitted on a size 4 bamboo needle across 3 stitches using garter stitch. I purl when knitting with wire instead of knit as it is much easier to wrap the wire around the needle with purling.
The pattern is fairly simple:
On 26 gauge (half soft) gold filled wire, String (1 4mm aqua drop, 1 4mm clear bicone, 1 4mm aqua bicone ) 19x
This gets you just short of half way. At this point switch to larger drops – (
1 8mm drop or other medium flat drop, 1 4mm clear bicone, 1 4mm aqua bicone, 1 4mm aqua drop, 1 4mm clear bicone, 1 4mm aqua bicone) 2x
(1 8mm drop or other medium flat drop, 1 4mm clear bicone, 1 4mm aqua bicone) 1x
1 8mm drop or other medium flat drop, 1 4mm clear bicone, 1 4mm aqua bicone, 1 4mm aqua drop, 1 4mm clear bicone, 1 4mm aqua bicone) 2x
(1 4mm aqua drop, 1 4mm clear bicone, 1 4mm aqua bicone ) 19x
Cast on 3 stitches, purl for about 5 rows plain (this will be where you will attach the clasp)
next row,purl one stitch bring up a bead (4mm aqua bicone) then purl the next stitches, bring up a bead, purl the last stitch.
As you turn, bring up the drop, purl all 3 stitches
Repeat until all beads are gone.
Purl 5 rows.
Attach to a clasp. You can use a cuff or cone on the ends to create an attractive end.
