DIAGONAL STRIPES BRACELET

This pattern is fully illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions. I use 6mm bicone crystals but you could just as easily use 6mm fire-polished beads, or a mix of 6mm rice pearls and crystals. For a smaller, daintier bracelet or necklace, use 4mm bicone crystals and 3mm fire-polished beads. It's a very versatile pattern.

Stitch: Right-angle weave (worked diagonally)

Beads Used: Size 11 seed beads or Delicas, 6mm bicone crystals and 4mm fire-polished beads

Approx Finished Size: 5/8 inch wide to desired length

Pattern Price: $3.75
