Materials

• 5 mm crochet hook
• Light weight/ DK yarn: self-striping (about 150 gr for the sample – size L/100 gr or 393 yds per skein)
• Beads
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use: ch 2, dc into the same stitch (counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below, you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/round, so just choose your best technique.

Special Stitches Used

V stitch: (dc, ch1, dc) into the same stitch or space.
