Pattern Description:

Overview
I was asked to design a choker inspired by the jewelry worn on the PBS show Downton Abbey just in time for season 3! The focal point of the necklace is made using a modified right angle weave (RAW) stitch. This necklace can be completed within 2 hours. It's not a difficult design. GREAT for a beginner.

The necklace can be lengthened by adding more 8/0 seed beads to the chain. The materials list above (and provided with the kit) will adequately provide for a 16" to 18" choker.

Special Notice
When you buy this pattern, you are now entitled to make this necklace. Please--do not distribute, lend, teach, copy, or sell my pattern. It's not good for you. You will have trouble sleeping and terrible headaches (I'm talking migraines--not worth it). Mass production (like a factory) is not permitted. If you sell the necklace please give credit to the designer--ME!
