  • 4. Tighthen up to get beads close together
  • 5. Add two beads to the one end of the string and pass the other end of the string through them (Picture 4)
  • 6. Tighten up
  • 7. Make sure that the rows of beads are like in the picture 5 (every second up, every second down).
  • 8. Continue adding beads according to picture 7. Every row of spheres in the picture means a row of beads to be added. Black spheres mean beads of different colour.
  • 9. After you have made the row marked with "j" you have to make legs for crocodile as follows:

  • 11. Pass the string you added beads on through the beads except for the last added bead (Picture 6).
  • 12. Tighten up the leg to its place
  • 13. Make the other leg with the other string likewise.
  • 14. Continue making crocodile until you get to the other row marked with "j" where you have to make another pair of legs.
  • 15. When you have done all the bead rows, fasten off the string.
