Blush Pink Pistachio Crocheted Chunky Bead Necklace

After making the Sweet Persimmons Crocheted Bead Necklace, I couldn't wait to make several more - if only my hands could crochet even faster and if only I had all imaginable colors to make endless color combinations! 

This time I tried 25 mm wooden beads for even more chunk.

String wood beads onto a ribbon or tube of sheer fabric. Tie knots in between beads if you prefer them more spaced out. Make a knot at end of each "end bead" to keep them in place.
