Choice of thread and beads Sulky 30 weight with Metallic is
good. Another is #80 DMC solid or variegated Green with
beads of approx. 1/16”. The hole in the bead should accommodate a #12 or #14
crochet hook. Japanese seed beads work well. They have a
larger hole than some others. Standard abbreviations used.
Special ones noted.
LPPR last picot previous ring. Lp long picot. + join. B+

hook, pull up long picot through bead then join as usual, or for
chain bead join -Thread bead on crochet hook draw up thread through base of
