This pattern uses a modification of herringbone stitch to produce a lovely textural piece of beadwork, resembling knitting or little ears of corn. Held to the light there is a slightly lacy feel to the pattern too.
It can be woven as a wide, dramatic statement cuff bracelet. Alternatively it can be stitched as one single strand, as a simple bracelet or as part of a series of stacking bracelets. It would also make a beautiful bag strap or work well stitched to fabric as an embellishment.
