On the wrist

The bracelet rendered bead by bead from this chart and set on pictures of a hand: from the back, and turned over to where its ends meet. The hand is the same for every pattern, so it shows the look, not the fit on your own wrist. The end bars and clasp are illustrative and are not counted as beads.

Weave it, step by step

How this band is woven on a bead loom: the warps it needs, the weft’s two passes through every row, the beads of each row in order, and how to finish the ends. 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.
