Pearl Necklace

Pearl Studded Choker or Anklet Pearl studded choker is a flattering item to have in a jewelry wardrobe. Use one spool gold or silver lame thread, 40 pearls size 8 and one number 3 steel crochet hook. Or, use a soft sportweight yarn and large borehole pony beads as I did in the photo. This is a great use for all those small left over fabulously nice textured yarns that we all have in our craft supply collections. Use a D or E hook. Abbreviations: ch (chain) sk (skip) dc (double crochet)
