Notes

Read the pattern carefully before starting.

( ) work instructions within parentheses as many times as directed or work a group of stitches all in the same stitch or space.

* * repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed or repeat at specified locations.

I recommend using a stitch marker to mark the 1st stitch of each round. Remember to move the stitch marker as you progress.

The main pattern is a multiple of 8 + 5 sts. If you would like to shorten or lengthen your necklace, use this multiple of sts then add 10 more chs for the button placement and buttonhole.
