Meet the String of Pearls succulent- one of the coolest plants nature has to offer! When I first decided to create a Succulents Collection, I knew that I wanted to include the String of Pearls plant. They’re so cute and interesting and I thought that putting one on my shelf would look great.
This was one of my favourite patterns to make because it’s so easy and quick. You can also work these strings up in different colours and lengths to create cool hanging decor, so I’ll definitely be making more of these for future projects.

Fasten off, stuff remaining tail into the ball and close hole off. Read through Assembly after you finish the first ball.
Assembly:
- Tie a triple knot on the tail an inch from the ball you’re working on.
- Slip the knot through the magic circle of the next ball and tighten.
- Continue creating your ball as usual.
- Repeat steps 1-3 until you have two strings of 3 balls, three strings of 4 balls, two strings of 5 balls, and one strings of 6 balls.
- Once you have all your strands, thread the tail into the centre of the soil.
When all the strands have been thread through the soil, place the soil back into the terracotta pot.

I just came across your sweet plant patterns. They look great! I can’t wait to make some of them. My son will be getting married in the near future and I am thinking of making the string of pearls on colors matching the brides theme and add to the decorations. I also read your disclaimer about people stealing your patterns, etc. It’s really sad that some folks just have to be dishonest. I enjoy crochet and it helps me relax and is my free therapy. Thanks for sharing your patterns here. I appreciate it and you!
