Tatted cord for broken shuttle necklace-the pattern

Yesterday, I posted a note about the tatted cord that I have just designed. It’s for a Lady Hoare tatting shuttle that I made and broke… rats… so it became a necklace.
Here’s how I tatted the cord:
With a dental floss threader, thread a heap of ‘e’ beads onto the cone of Lion Brand Lamé yarn.
The cord is a sequence of *5 double knots (dk), slip a bead down the thread to the last dk, 1 dk, 1 picot, 1 dk, slip a bead down to the dk* repeated from * to *
The pic above shows the bead slipped down to the last of the 5 dk.
And the pic below shows the dk that holds the 1st bead in place.
Here’s the picot and the next dk:
So, I repeated the * to * for 30 inches (75 cm) and then took the thread through the eye of the jewelry clasp, and headed back up the cord:
For the 2nd half of the cord, I did 5 dk, then joined the shuttle thread to the picot, and repeated this process for the entire length of the cord.
At the end, I worked a ring of 9 dk, closed it, cut the threads, tied knots, trimmed the ends and did a little happy dance!

I am looking forward to making it in other thread combinations!
Noreen,
as a manufacture of a different kind of jewelry I had to tell you the concept is beautiful
This is just perfect for the broken shuttle. I bet it feels back at home now.
It’s beautiful Noreen.
You should put up a video of the happy dance some time… ; )
