Cupid’s Arrow Heart Earrings: Brick bead pattern with 17 columns, 18 rows and 5 colours

On the ear

The earring rendered bead by bead from this chart and hung at its real size from the piercing of a model’s ear: from the side, and from behind with her chin raised. The model is the same for every pattern, so it shows the look, not how it will sit on your own ear. The ear wire is illustrative and is not counted as beads.

Stitch it, step by step

The thread path for this chart, bead by bead: the ladder, every row in the order it is worked, where each bead hangs and how to get from one part to the next. It is worked out from the chart itself.

Row by row

Read each row left to right. A dash means leave that position empty. The editor’s Make mode walks you through these one at a time.
