Learn a modified form of Ndebele herringbone stitch, which can be used to make lifelike ferns with only beads and thread. Twisted tubular Ndebele herringbone stitch is used to create a simple, elegant neck band. Two forms of peyote stitch are used to create an adjustable bail accented with a Swarovski square stone. The instructions allow for sizing the neck band to any length.
