This design measures approximately 7 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the length woven. If you need to extend the pattern just continue the chevrons on each side equally.
- Before beginning this pattern you may find it helpful to watch our video: Tips for Advanced Brick Stitch Patterns.
- Begin by watching our video: How To Do Brick Stitch Bead Weaving. From what you learned in the video, begin your first row of ladder stitch where the PDF pattern is pointing to start from. Leave a long tail to finish the tapered end, ending with one bead on it's side to put the jump ring through at the end.
- Next, please watch our video: How to Make Increases and Decreases in Brick Stitch. From what you learned in this video weave the length of the pattern doing the increases and decreases as needed. When you get to the end, the final bead will be on it's side to accommodate the jump ring.
- Tie off and weave in your threads after completing the weaving on both sides.
- Finally, open one jump ring and attach it to one seed bead at one end and to one end of the magnetic clasp then close the jump ring. Repeat on the other side.
