Cornelian beads with stars

Step 1

First, string the rocailles onto the crocheting yarn (only string 24x R10 at the beginning and at the end):

24x R10 – 1x C6-A – 4x R10 – 1x C6-B – 4x R10 ... – 1x C6-A – 4x R10 – 1x C6-B – 4x R10 – 24x R10
until you have strung ca 3 m (the stringing should give you a tube of ca 45 cm), fig. no. 1.
If you do not have a Big Eye needle for stringing beads, proceed in the following manner: cut off ca 20 cm of Nymo and thread it through the eye of a regular stringing needle and tie both ends together with a knot. Thread the crocheting yarn through the created loop. String the rocailles onto the needle and then move them onto the yarn over the Nymo.

Step 3

String the first loop onto the hook, move 4x R10 and 1x C6 to the hook, catch the yarn behind them and crochet a short column (fig. nos. 3a and 3b), then repeat two more times. Make sure that you always have three loops at every step (fig. no. 3c).
