Draw up the last loop of the chain about ½ inch, and make a cluster of stitches as in beginning the work.
Make 2 more clusters; add another bead.
Make 2 more clusters, and add one more bead.
Continue to make clusters until the chain is nearly as long as desired. Then add the beads as explained above and make 3 more clusters. Cut off thread about 5 inches from the end of the work, and make one chain stitch to fasten end, drawing it all the way through.
To Fasten Balls on Ends of the Chain:
Thread the end of cotton left on the chain into a long-eyed needle and sew with several stitches to the top of the ball, running the end well down into the ball to fasten it securely before cutting it off.
