Purple Necklace

Use CD and 14 Rings in size 1 1/8 to make the one pictured. As pictured below, take your first ring and tie a knot to start your necklace.

Perform a SL ST with this loop. Now you will have one loop on your hook for the rest of project so you can perform SCs. SC 12 times in the ring, push them all together (it should take up approx. half of the ring once you do this). CH 2. Join the next ring as shown below in picture. Note: After each SC, tighten the stitch to be flush with the ring, otherwise your circles may be lopsided if your stitches arent consistent.

Next put your hook through the middle of the hook and draw up a loop as the picture below shows. Insert hook through ring as you did for the first ring.
