This is a popular necklace pattern originally posted at beadsmagic.com, which has been slightly modified. Instead of having the loops overlap and hang freely over eachother, I found the necklace kept a more evenly spaced crisscross pattern if the loops were interlocked with one another, so the pattern below illustrates how to stitch it that way. I made both an off-white and bright-white version of this necklace with clear AB 6mm bicone crystals, pearls (4mm, 6mm and 8mm), and 11/0 seed beads. This would make a stunning bridal or evening necklace; classic and beautiful!

Hi
This is really pretty. What type of seed beads did you use? What size thread did you use?
I was thinking of using 2 mm Swarovski pearls instead of seed beads. The hole is much smaller, would I still be able to make 2 passes? Also did you reinforce it?
Thank you
I used Czech seed beads for this, and probably 4 lb fireline (I now use 6 lb, as 4 lb broke on me one time in another piece). This one was not reinforced.
Gorgeous! Thank you for the pattern. I’m going to be experimenting with sizes and styles of beads.
