Appearances can be deceiving. A necklace that looks like an intricately beaded web is crocheted in the most basic stitch, the chain. Whether you're an absolute beginner or an experienced crocheter, you can create this elegant piece of jewelry that's perfect for holiday gift giving! Some crochet experience is helpful, but not essential.

Materials fee covers kit that includes everything you need to make your necklace: beads, beading board, thread, clasp, and pattern. Bring a size "C" (2.5 mm) and "E" (3.5 mm) hooks and scissors.
