Components
[1] On 1 yd. (.9 m) of thread, pick up
a repeating pattern of an 110 seed bead
and a 6 mm two-hole triangle bead six
times, making sure all the triangles are
oriented the same way. Tie the beads
into a ring with a square knot (Online
Beading Basics), leaving a 6-in. (15 cm)
tail (figure 1). Adjust the triangles so the
available hole of each sits to the outside
of the ring.
[2] Pick up an 110, a 6 mm two-hole
lentil bead, and an 110, and sew through
the available hole of the next triangle
(figure 2, ab). Repeat this stitch to
complete the round, and sew through
the first 110 added in this round (bc).
[3] Sew through the available hole of
the adjacent lentil (figure 3, ab). Pick
up an 110, a triangle, and three 110s,
and sew through the available hole of
the new triangle (bc). Pick up an 110,
and sew through the available hole of
the next lentil (cd). Repeat these two
stitches to complete the round, and sew
through the first 110 added in this
round (de). As you stitch, make sure

that each new triangle is pointing in the

same direction as the previous triangle.
If not, remove the stitch and re-do it
with the triangle facing the correct way.

and sew through the next 110, lentil,
and 110 set (figure 4, ab). Repeat this

complete the round, sewing through just
an 110 in the final stitch (cd). Set the
working thread aside.

opposite triangle. Sew back through

component, sew through the beadwork

to exit the outer hole of a triangle in the
inner round (photo a). Youll find it easiest to access this triangle from the back
of the component. Pick up two 110s,
and sew through the triangle and the
first 110 just added (photo b).
[2] Pick up two 110s, sew down
through the adjacent 110, sew up
through the 110 your thread exited
at the start of this step, and continue
through the first 110 just added (photo c).
Repeat this stitch four times, and then
sew through the outer hole of an innerround triangle on another component
and back through the adjacent 110
(photo d). Retrace the thread path
through the connection a few times,
and end the thread.
[3] Repeat steps 1 and 2 to connect
all the components in a straight line.
[4] Add 1 ft. (30 cm) of thread

(Online Basics) to an end component,
exiting opposite the existing connection.
Work as in steps 1 and 2, but instead
of sewing through a triangle on a new
component, pick up half of the clasp.
Retrace the thread path through the
clasp connection several times, and
end the thread (photo e).
[5] Repeat step 4 at the other end
of the bracelet. w
