Yoshi

designed by Evelyn McDermand

          Materials:

          2 ½  yards ribbon, cord or plastic lacing
          1 key ring or lanyard hook
          53 neon green pony beads
          17 white pony beads
          15 orange pony beads
          3 red pony beads
          2 black pony beads

        Special Instructions:
       
        Pay close attention to the string path when making the tail and legs. The tail is made with one strand after the 8th row and weaving back through only the first bead at the beginning of the tail. With that same strand, 
        string on 5 green beads which will start the 9th row. The left strand (coming out of the 8th row shown in blue) will only go through 3 of the beads in the 9th row. On that same strand string on 2 green beads and the
        6 orange. Weave through the middle set of orange beads and through the 2 green beads. Use that same strand to catch the 2nd bead of the tail and weave the strand back through the 5 green beads. For the other
        leg/feet you will be using the strand that is on the left in row 9 shown in black. Add on 2 green and 6 orange beads and weave through just like the previous leg. You can weave through the two green beads
        (as shown) or weave through the 3 green beads ending up with the strand on the right side of the pattern. Tie knot/s. You may want to use the extra string to reinforce the long rows of the head.
