Collecting shells and beautiful pebbles on the beach is always
an exciting experience for me. Each shell or pebble in collection reminds me of
a beautiful holiday or a person.
This easy necklace consists of a shell encased in a cotton crochet net
and decorated with a few seed beads.
Materials
- seashell
- 4 ply cotton yarn
- seed beads, beading needle and cotton, crochet hook, darning needle, split ring.
Method ( UK crochet terms in pattern)

Create a magic ring and crochet 10 dc into the ring. Pull
the ends of the yarn to create a tight circle and close the round with a slst.

Round 3: Chain 3, trc into first two st, 2 trc into third st. Continue pattern until the end of round and close round with a slst.
Determine if the size of the circle is large enough to
encase the shell. Otherwise add another round. If circle is large enough
continue to final round.
Final round: dc into each stitch. Close circle and end off. Leave a long tail.
Thread the long tail round the edge of the circle. Insert the shell and pull tight to secure the shell. End off with a tight knot.
Decorate the edge with seed beads.
Insert the split ring and attach the pendant to a necklace of your choice.
