    Janet, I haven't made this bracelet, but if you look at Jean's
    picture on page 32 figure 3.23 you can see both sections of the
    chain.  The clasp looks like it is simply folded over and adjusted as
    any hook would be adjusted. It obviously just fits over the end link.
    It looks like you would fold the clasp link down and then fold up the
    balled end a bit to give some tension to the hook. Look at figure
    3.27 on page 36. I think it would be a matter of putting a little dip
    at the end of the folded over clasp link just before the balled up
    end. 

    Hope that helps.  I love this chain and keep meaning to make one. 
    Maybe I'll do that this week. 

Kay
