Link Bead Necklace

Had some inquiries about the Link Bead necklace that I tossed a picture of up on Facebook.

The pattern for a bracelet is here:

The pattern for the bracelet calls for 3 x 24 beads, and says it is 8.5 inches, but figure a part of that is the clasp – so

say the bead portion is 7 inches, if you wanted to do a 21 inch necklace – then you would need about 225 beads. A tube is about 40 beads.

The necklace is an ombre effect, shading from white to clear to cream to antiqued green to bronze to black. 1 tube each of 6 colours is 240 beads.

So that should do for length unless you want longer.
