Another Monday, Another Bracelet Design

I wrote up a quick pattern for this beaded bracelet that I thought would be fun to try.  The pattern is simple:

Add a dozen or so beads to shuttle and proceed with one shuttle as follows:

Slide bead down onto working thread, storing it at the back of hand.
R 4-8+(to lobster claw clasp)8-4, cl with bead at base of ring, dnrw
*Slide bead down onto working thread, storing it at the back of hand.
R 4+(to last picot of first ring)4-4-4, cl with bead at base of ring, dnrw.
Repeat from * until desired length.

R 4+8-4, attach ball thread to base of ring. Leave enough of a tail to sew in later or tat over the end as you begin as follows:
Ch 4+(to last picot of previous ring)4-4-4, lj to thread between rings
*Ch 4+(to last picot of previous chain)4-4-4, lj to thread between rings
Repeat from * until back at first ring, then instead of making the second picot, join to first picot of first ring, then continue with the remaining 4 stitches. LJ as previously, sew in ends into base of first ring, and the last part of the chain.
