Round 1: 1 ch, 10 dc in ring, slip stitch to first dc.
Round 2: 1 ch, 2 dc in each dc to end of round, slip stitch to first dc. (20 dc.)
Round 3: 1 ch, 1 dc in each dc to end, slip stitch to first dc.

Fasten off and sew in yarn ends.
Tie a slip knot in one end of the rat tail cord. Thread one large fabric bead onto the cord and position at the centre. Tie a knot at each side of the bead to secure. Thread another two large fabric beads, one at each side of the first bead, and knot. Thread three medium fabric beads on each side and knot. Thread five crochet beads on each side, with the last bead covering the starting slip knot. Tie a slip knot at the other end of the necklace. Poke the end of the cord through the hole of the last bead with the aid of a knitting needle. Cut the ribbon in half and sew one half to each loop created by the the slip knots. Tie the ribbon ends together in a bow.
