This is a whopper of a cuff made from the very new two-hole diamond beads called Silky. They are similar to Czech Mates tiles but they have a raised design on top and the holes are cut diagonal through them making them a bit challenging! This PDF is 8 pages of full color close up pictures and clear diagrams on how to stitch together this thick cuff. We use St Petersburg stitch and peyote modified.
This is a intermediate level pattern. You should know how to add and end thread and understand good thread tension as well as adding clasp loops and St Petersburg stitch.
New to my patterns? Nervous about spending money on a pattern only to find out it is not well written? Message me and I will send a free pattern to see how my tutorials are laid out. This is for NEW customers only.
Materials needed:
98-103 two-hole diamond beads Silky
1-2 grams 11/0 round seed beads
1-2 grams 15/0 seed beads
114-120 3mm crystal bi-cones
Amounts vary upon size of bracelet.
Clasp, I used toggles but it can work with any you choose
Beading needles size 10 or Tulip size 11(my fave)
Your fave thread, I use 8 lb Fireline with these Silky beads. I have found that with they can have rough edges so I recommend 8lb and maybe even a second pass through. Like any two-hole beads, check your holes prior to stitching with them.
