Pattern Description:
These sweet little beaded beads are a mouth-watering delight - bet you can't stop at just one! Use them as earrings, or as a pendant, or string a bunch of them into a necklace or bracelet.
The instructions include two variations, Dolce Grande, a slightly bigger, more complex version, and Dolce Piccolo, a sightly smaller and simpler version.
