Russian Matroyshka Doll

designed by Lyn Forsyth of Scotland

Level: Beginner

Materials:

• 3 yds. cord of choice
• 1 lanyard hook or keyring
• 55 ivory pony beads
• 25 red pony beads
• 20 yellow pony beads
• 7 pink pony beads
• 6 green pony beads
• 5 black pony beads

• 4 strawberry pink pony beads

Note: The sample was made with 2 yards of clear plastic lacing and mini pony beads (4x7mm).

Note: This is supposed to look like those little Russian dolls that nest inside each other. It was designed by someone on a list I was on, called WAGGGS-L, which is for Girl Scout and Girl Guide leaders. Unfortunately I lost the e-mail with her name, although I recently came across a drawing I had printed out of this pattern.
