A chaplet is a string of beads or, sometimes, a cord with knots, formed into a loop. The beads or knots are used to mark one's place when saying a number of prayers in succession. The most familiar chaplet today is the Rosary. But other chaplets are in use. If you have seen something that resembled a Rosary but with fewer (or more) beads, it may have been a chaplet.
