Frightful crocodile

Difficulty: 2

TECHNIQUE: ladder chain stitch

Figures made from PRECIOSA PermaLux seed beads

Don't worry! They're quite friendly! Even though this involves a group of frightful, terrifying and horror inducing crocodiles living in a still, dark inlet of the Nile. If you choose different shades from the PRECIOSA PermaLux range, you will be able to create your own patterns and use the tutorial to sew a figure that makes you happy.

Step 3

The body
When creating the crocodile, alternately string the R from the supper surface (the pattern) and the R from the bottom (R06). The numbers in the rows reduce or increase. This imitates the narrowing or widening of the animal's body. String the appropriate number of R in a row onto one end of the line. Thread the second end of the line through from the opposite side.

Step 5

Finishing up
String 1x R16 from the tail (row 25) onto one end of the line. Thread this end of the line back through the last two pairs of R in the tail. Thread each end of the line through 1x R next to the penultimate pair of R. Tie two knots between the R. Thread the line back through the R in this pair. Pull the ends of the line into several other pairs of R. Cut it off.

Step 6

Hanging - the necklace
Cut off the required length from the chain or the cord. Stick the cord into the end pieces with eyes. Use the 4 mm rings to connect a carabiner and its counterpart to the eyes on the end pieces or to the ends of the chain. Connect the thin ring to the outer R on the crocodile. Connect both 4 mm rings to it, which you can then hang on the cord or the centre of the chain.
