Whip up a crocheted lariat of fire-polish beads. Or, learn this satisfying and “beadwork-to-go” skill right here, right now!

Create two different and lovely beaded bezels, meant to be appreciated from every angle, one for each end of the lariat. Each embraces securely a Swarovski rivoli, one 27mm and one 18mm. Learning this method that evolves from [regrettably named] polygon stitch, enhances your repertoire of beadweaving techniques.

Weave a floral slide whose stick pearl petals accentuate either end, depending on how the lariat is worn. Discover choice ways of wearing this, and other lariats.

Come with or without bead crochet experience.

Knowledge of Right Angle Weave is helpful.

10 stick pearls; 6 strands 4mm fire-polish “crystals”; crochet hook around size 5/1.7mm; cotton or nylon crochet cord; seed beads in sizes 15, 11 and 8 plus Japanese drop beads; PowerPro or fireline thread in 6, 8 or 10#; beading needle size 12 and 10, Swarovski rivoli in 18 and 27mm.
