This pattern will teach you five different versions of a spiral rope using various different beads. You can combine them to form the knotted bracelet shown above, or use them individually to make a necklace, bracelet or earrings.
The spiral rope stitch can be very useful to use if you have seed beads that are not consistent lengths, as you will pick up more than one bead at once to form the outer loops so they just need to form the same length in total. It's a really versatile design and I use it a lot.
You will need sizes 8 and 11 seed beads for each rope, plus for some variations you will also use 4mm round beads or bicones, size 6 seeds, 3mm or 6mm bugle beads, or stone chips. Plus you will need a necklace or bracelet clasp, earring hooks, jump rings with two pairs of pliers to attach them with, and a beading needle and thread.
Beading level: suitable for everyone. The pattern is explained in detail with lots of diagrams and written instructions and is very easy to follow.
31 pages. 30 clear computer-drawn diagrams. 21 photos including 14 of finished work.
You will make two separate ropes for the knotted bracelet so it's easy to mix and match the patterns and colours, or just make both the same. Each rope is stitched together at the ends so you don't need any sort of unusual clasp or connector. You can make a bracelet using just a single rope, or make it longer for a necklace. This rope is really good for holding any large sort of pendant, including bought ones.
