Beaded choker tutorial

I received questions here and in real life about my choker I'm wearing in my last stock sets. My pattern looked really messy so I drew it again on the computer and wrote a tutorial to go with it.
It was also my first experience with Photoshop's pen - this tool is evil! D: never using it again!

It's not really difficult to make such a choker, you just need a fine beading needle and basic counting skills (which I don't have EDIT: in step 21 you thread 8 beads, like the picture shows, not 5!!)
And some patience maybe... but I think it's worth it

I included some basic stuff, so it should be suitable for beginners too.

If you follow this tutorial right, you'll have a lacy-looking beaded choker that doesn't soak in water, can be cleaned easily and doesn't fray.
I have a simpler red one which I wear often in summer, it's very comfortable.

Good luck beading, show me if you have some results! And you can ask me questions, I don't bite
Enjoy!
