This project is made using Right Angle Weave.
1. Cut a five foot length of Miyuki Nylon Beading Thread. String four Miyuki Berry Beads (BB) in alternating colors: color A, color B, color A, color B.
2. Make a loop by passing the needle back through the first BB, color A. Pull tight to secure leaving a thread tail of about 12 inches.
3. Moving clockwise, pass the needle through the next three BB, exiting BB (color B) on the right side of the loop.
4. String three BB: color A, color B, and color A.
5. Turn and pass down through the same BB that was just exited in the first loop. The newly added beads now form a second loop connected to the first.
6. Moving counterclockwise pass through the next two BB in the second loop. This will position the thread for the next set of beads.
7. String three BB: color A, color B, and color A. Turn and pass up through the same BB that was just exited in the previous loop.
8. Moving clockwise pass through the next two BB, exiting BB (color B) on the right side of the newly added loop.
9. Repeat steps 4-6. Pull thread to secure.
10. Repeat step 7. Continue through the next BB (color A) at the top of the loop. This completes row one.
11. String three BB: color B, color A, and color B. Moving counterclockwise pass back through the BB (color A) that was just exited in row one. Pull thread to secure.
12. Moving counterclockwise pass through the next three BB in the loop exiting color B.
13. Moving from right to left pass through the next BB (color A) in the first row. The thread is now in position to add another set of beads.
14. String two BB in color B and color A. Moving clockwise pass down through the next BB (color B). Pull to secure.
15. Moving clockwise pass through the next two BB in the loop exiting color B.
16. String two BB in color A and color B. Moving counterclockwise pass through the next two BB to form a loop.
17. Continue counterclockwise through the next two BB in the loop. Moving from right to left pass through the next BB (color A) from the first row.
18. Repeat step 14.
19. Repeat step 15.
20. Repeat step 16. Continue through the next BB (color A) at the top of the loop. This completes row two.
21. String three BB: color B, color A, and color B. Moving clockwise pass back through the BB (color A) that was just exited in row two. Pull thread to secure.
22. Moving clockwise pass through the next three BB in the loop exiting color B.
23. Moving from left to right pass through the next BB (color A) in the second row. The thread is now in position to add another set of beads.
24. String two BB in color B and color A. Moving counterclockwise pass through the next two BB to form a loop.
25. String two BB in color A and color B. Moving clockwise pass through the next two BB to form a loop. Continue clockwise through the next two BB exiting color B. Moving from left to right pass through the next BB (color A) in the second row.
26. Repeat step 24.
27. String two BB in color A and color B. Moving clockwise pass through the next two BB to form a loop. Continue through the next BB (color A) at the top of the loop. This completes row three.
28. Continue working in right angle weave repeating steps 11-27. A woven section of 41 rows will measure approximately 6.5" with a finished length of 7" once the clasp is added.
29. String twenty Miyuki 11/0 seed beads.
30. Pass up through the BB at the opposite end of the row to form a loop.
31. Add one 11/0 bead and pass through the next BB in the row.
32. Continue along the row adding one 11/0 bead between each BB.
33. Pass through all the beads in steps 29-32. Repeat to reinforce.
34. Move to the other end of the bracelet and attach the needle onto the thread tail. Add one 11/0 bead and pass through the next BB in the row.
35. Continue along the row adding one 11/0 bead between each BB.
36. Follow the diagrammed thread path and exit the BB (color A).
