Instructions:
The quantity of beads listed in the materials is PER SIX FEET of garland you'd like to make. Your spool of pearl cotton will make plenty, but make sure that you buy enough beads to make as much finished garland as you'd like.
- Before you begin, watch the instructional video: How to Chain Stitch Crochet with Beads.
-
Use a big eye needle to string the total number of emerald and light siam 3mm crystal bicone beads onto the spool of ecru pearl cotton, alternating colors.
-
Chain stitch 20 stitches, then one stitch with a bead. Repeat this until you've used your last strung bead, then chain stitch 20 more stitches.
-
Trim the pearl cotton a few inches from your work and pull the tail all the way through the loop. Pull tight to secure.
-
Pull the tail at the beginning of your crochet to tighten. Trim the tails of the string about half an inch from the ends of the crochet.

Your garland might be a little bit longer or shorter than 6 feet per 32 beads depending on the tension you use when you crochet.
Variations
Choose your favorite colors of pearl cotton and crystal beads to give your garland a different look and match your holiday decorations. When substituting in items, pay attention to sizes and styles to make sure all your pieces will fit together.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
