Seaweed, the Otter
Materials:
4 yards ribbon, cord or plastic lacing
1 key ring or lanyard hook
111 brown pony beads
8 bone pony beads
7 pearl green pony beads
3 black pony beads
Special Instructions:
Pay close attention to the string path for the tail and legs.
After completing the row marked by the knots, make one leg using one
strand (see note). With the
other strand, do not weave back through the 3 beads on that row.
You need the strand to make the tail first, then weave the strand
through the 3 beads. Make the
other leg and tie knots. Use
excess string to tie hands together in front as shown.
Note: In
order to make the foot look right, I had to weave the strand back through a
couple of times. Step 1:
To make the leg and foot, string on 14 beads (shown in diagram
with blue string). Step 2:
Weave back through, (diagram with red string).
