BUTTON NECKLACE #6

(pictured at far right)

Supplies Used:           Cotton Crochet Thread
                                       Crochet Hook, size 8
                                       50 buttons
                                       Scissors

ABBREVIATIONS:      ch = chain
                                        sc = single crochet
                                        dc = double crochet
                                        sl st = slip stitch

NOTE: Since the hook used is too large to insert through the button, the buttons are strung on the thread before starting to crochet. Thread the end of the thread through a needle, then string all 50 buttons onto it.
