The stitches worked in blue thread are Rhodes stitches. I couldn’t help thinking about Rhodes scholars when I was stitching this. There is lots of counting and double checking to do with this pattern. I felt like my brain had got a workout when I finished. It was fun to add the pearls.

a Christmas tree pattern with beads to mimic ball ornaments and lights.
Interesting. I've never heard of Rhodes stitch, though I was born in Rhodesia, named after the fellow of the scholarship! Is it a pendant? Looks wonderful!
