FINISHED SIZE 7"
Tip
• Keep slight tension on the elastic
thread as you work, but don’t pull it
tight or the cuff will not have enough
stretch to fit over your hand. Guide
the thread slowly through the beads
to prevent knotting and allow the
needle to dangle often to untwist
the thread as you work.
Materials
17 g light blue-lined clear size 8° Japanese seed beads (A)
5 g white size 8° seed beads (B)
2 g dark blue size 8° seed beads (C)
12' of .5mm elastic thread
G-S Hypo Cement
Tools
Big Eye needle
Scissors
1:
Base row.
Use 9' of elastic to string 21 seed
beads, leaving a 6" tail: 1B, 2A, 1C, 2A, 1B, 2A,
1B, 2A, 1C, 2A, 1B, 2A, 1B, and 2A; pass back
through the last 1C to form a loop (
Figure 1
).
5:
Edge.
String 1B and pass through the next
2A along the edge (
Figure 5
); repeat around,
then weave through the netting to repeat along
the other edge of the bracelet. Weave the thread
back to the tail and knot the tail and working
threads together. Dab the knot with cement,
allow to dry, and hide thread ends in beads;
trim.

Repeat entire step for a total of 55 rows of net-
ting. Test the fit and add or delete rows as
needed. Stop stitching with the working thread
exiting the bottom right corner of the beadwork
and the beginning tail exiting the upper left.

Begin netting.
String 2A, 1B, and 2A;
skip 1B of the previous row and pass back
through the following 1B. String 2A, 1C,
and 2A; skip 1C and pass through the fol-
lowing 1B (
Figure 2
).
4:
Joining.
Fold the beadwork to bring the
first and last rows together. String 2A and pass
up through the first 1B of the first row. String
2A and pass up through 1C of the last row.
String 2A and pass up through the second 1B
of the first row. Continue stringing 2A and
connecting beads of the first and last rows as
shown (
Figure 4
). For the last stitch, string 2A
and tie a knot with the tail thread. Dab the
knot with cement and pass the working thread
through 2A along the top edge (
Figure 4a
).
Any project involving a needle and thread has always
held a special appeal to Deb Mausser. She has been
beading for four years and works at We Got the Bead in
Dubuque, Iowa.
