I was impressed with the beaded ornaments my sisters and mom have been
making, and after getting Terry McGuffin's book, I decided to meld the two
ideas together into one. Here is the first attempt at this. There is no finished
picture of this ornament YET, but the instructions and diagram are below.
Think of this as a mystery ornament.

Row 1:
R. 6 – 6, cl. R. 6 – 6, cl.
Ch. 6 – 6 – 6 – 6
R. 6 +B(join 2 beads as seen in diagram) 6, cl. R. 6 – 6, cl.
Repeat rings and chains joining the last ring with the first ring. 10 rings and 5 chains.
Row 2:
R. 6 + 6, cl. Join to corresponding picot on chain. 4 Delica, 1 3 mm, 4 Delica beads as a spacer to next ring. R. 3 – 3 – 3 – 3, cl. There are no chains. Repeat beads and ring 6 joining to each corresponding picot on chain, bead space, ring 3, end with bead space. Cut and tie.
Row 3:Cluster
SR. 6 – 3 – 3, cl.
R. 3 + 4 +B(join 2 beads as seen in diagram to ring of round 2) 4 – 3, cl.
R. 3 + 3 – 6, cl.
Bead space, 6 Delica, R. 6 (2 Delica, 1 drop, 2 Delica in picot) 6, cl. Bead space, 6 Delica.
R. 6 + (join to last ring of cluster) 3 – 3, cl. Repeat second and third ring from cluster, and the bead space, ring, and space for 15 repeats, joining last ring with the first ring.
