Crab Pattern: R = Red, B = Black
- Row 1 - R B R R B R (do NOT put the right side of lacing through the black beads)
- BEFORE Row 2 - make the pinchers. To make the pinchers put 7 beads on the left piece of lacing. Separate the 7 beads into 3 beads (closer to the body) and 4 beads (closer to the end of the lacing). Then stick the lacing back through the 3 beads closest to his body. Repeat on the right side. Make sure you scooch the legs as close to his body as possible.
- Row 2 - 8R
- BEFORE Row 3 - make 2 legs. Put 3 beads on the left piece of lacing. Separate the 3 beads into 2 beads closer to his body and 1 closer to the end of the lacing. Put the lacing back through the 2 beads closer to his body. Scooch the leg as close to the body as you can. Repeat on the right side.
- Row 3 - 9R
- BEFORE Row 4 - make 2 more legs, just like last time - 3 beads for each leg.
- Row 4 - 8R
- BEFORE Row 5 - make 2 more legs, just like last time.
- Row 5 - 7R
- Tie knots on both sides of the bottom row (between the last beads on the row and the bottom legs).
Ta-da! The cutest little crab ever!
