Hi Friends,
We Will be learning Netting stitch for a simple necklace design.
Netting stitch is a simple bead weaving technique, it owes it origin to the fishing net weaving.
Just like with peyote and right angle weave, netting is a versatile stitch, it can be used in so many ways, with different bead counts, and embellishing different type of beads in various shape and sizes to create new effect.
For this simple Necklace we would need:
Size 3 seed bead A
Size 6 crystal bead B
Size 1 seed bead C
0.35 fishline
bead needle
You can get all the beading supplies at any bead shop near you.
PROCEDURE:
1. secure a stop bead and a needle to a comfortable length of fish line.
2. string the first bead sequence;
10 A beads, 1 B bead, 4 A bead, 1 B bead, 1 C bead.
3. then stitch up the needle through the crystal bead before the C bead and pull snug.
4. pick; 4 A bead, 1 B bead, 4 A bead
5. Stitch up through the first crystal bead on the first sequence, to form a diamond shape.
6. Pick; 3 A bead, 1 B bead, 4 A bead.
7. Stitch down through the middle crystal on the diamond shape.
8. Pick; 4 A bead, 1 B bead, 1 C bead
9. repeat from step 3 till you get your desired length
10. Pick 10 A bead, and attach your clasp .
