Once you master the basic concept of making the links, the pattern can be a jumping off point to other necklace designs. You can vary the configuration of the link sizes to create a myriad of looks. Included in this pattern download will be all three versions that you see above. Version 1 features links that are graduated in size, version 2 has a mock bow, and version 3 adds interest with a cord woven through the links.
It is a great project for gift giving, as you can make several with one skein of yarn and it is possible to make them for a group of friends, and choose the style that best fits their personality!

I have admired this pattern on Ravelry for a long time. I purchased it to make a necklace for my sister for Christmas. I was delighted with the clarity of your instructions. I made version 3 and was thrilled with the results! I only made one change to your instructions, instead of fastening off to make the dome, I did a slip stitch to the end, chained 2 and then followed the remaining instructions. I love using the magic ring, but my change meant less ends to work in. Thank you for your beautiful patterns, I look forward to making more of them!!
