1. Cut a five foot length of Miyuki nylon beading thread. String one Miyuki 3mm Spacer bead (SPR3), one Miyuki 2.7x12mm Twisted Bugle bead (TW2712), two SPR3 beads, one TW2712, and one SPR3. Slide the beads to the end of the thread and leave a two foot tail.
3. Pass down through the three beads to the right.
4. String one SPR3, one TW2712, and one SPR3.
5. Pass down through the three beads to the left and up through the three beads to the right.
6. String one SPR3, one TW2712, and one SPR3. Pass up through the three beads to the left and down through the three beads to the right.
7. Continue in ladder stitch until there are seven TW2712 beads.
8. String two Miyuki 11/0 seed beads. Pass the needle under the first thread bridge to the left to begin brick stitch.
9. Pass up through the second 11/0 and pull thread to secure.
10. String one 11/0 and pass the needle under the next thread bridge to the left.
11. Pass up through the third 11/0 and pull thread to secure.
12. String one 11/0 and pass the needle under the next thread bridge to the left. Pass up through the same 11/0. String another 11/0 and pass the needle under the same thread bridge. Continue up through the same 11/0 (this creates an increase in the row).
13. String one 11/0 and pass the needle under the next thread bridge to the left. Continue up through the 11/0 and pull thread to secure.
14. Repeat step 12 and add two 11/0 beads onto the next thread bridge.
15. Repeat step 12 and add two 11/0 beads onto the last thread bridge completing the row. There should be ten 11/0 beads in this row.
16. String two Miyuki 10/0 Triangle beads (TR10). Skip over the first thread bridge to the right and pass the needle under the next thread bridge.
17. Pass up through the second TR10 bead.
18. Pass down through the first TR10 bead and under the corresponding thread bridge.
19. Pass up through the first TR10 bead.
20. Pass down through the TR10 to the right and continue under the corresponding thread bridge. Pass up through the second TR10 and pull thread to secure.
21. Continue in brick stitch until there are nine TR10 beads in the row (there are no increases in this row).
22. Use the two foot thread tail on the opposite side and repeat steps 8-21 to complete this section.
23. Repeat steps 1-22 to make a second brick stitched section. Sew in and trim all remaining thread tails. These will form the two middle components of the bracelet.
24. Cut a ten foot length of thread (leaving a 12 inch tail). Ladder stitch nine TR10 beads together.
25. Pass back through the last two beads in the row to reinforce.
26. String two 11/0 beads and pass the needle under the first thread bridge to the left. Continue up through the second 11/0 and pull thread to secure.
27. Brick stitch six 11/0 beads across the row, adding one onto each corresponding thread bridge.
28. Brick stitch two 11/0 beads onto the last thread bridge to increase. There will be ten 11/0 beads in this row.
29. String two Miyuki 8/0 seed beads. Skip over the first thread bridge to the right and pass the needle under the next. Pass up through the second 8/0.
30. Pass down through the first 8/0 and under the corresponding thread bridge, continue up through the first 8/0.
31. Pass down through the 8/0 to the right and under the corresponding thread bridge, continue up through the second 8/0.
32. String one 8/0, skip over the thread bridge to the right and pass the needle under the next. Pass up through the third 8/0.
33. String one 8/0 and brick stitch onto the next thread bridge.
34. String one 8/0, skip over the thread bridge to the right and brick stitch onto the next thread bridge.
35. Brick stitch two 8/0 beads to complete the row, adding one to each corresponding thread bridge. There will be seven 8/0 beads in this row.
36. String two 8/0 beads.
37. Repeat steps 29-31 to secure the first two 8/0 beads in the row.
38. Continue in brick stitch, adding one 8/0 onto each of the corresponding thread bridges for a total of six 8/0 beads in this row.
39. String one TR10, pass through the first loop of the two strand filigree clasp, and string one TR10.
40. Pass the needle under second thread bridge to the right and continue up through the second TR10.
41. Pass back through the loop of the clasp and continue down through the first TR10. Pass under the corresponding thread bridge and up through the first TR10.
42. Pass through the loop of the clasp and continue down through the second TR10 and under the corresponding thread bridge. Pass up through the second TR10. Increase by brick stitching two TR10 beads onto the next thread bridge.
43. Brick stitch one TR10 onto the next thread bridge. Pass through the second loop of the clasp and brick stitch one TR10 to the last thread bridge. There will be six TR10 beads in this row.
44. Pass back through the clasp loop and down through the TR10 to the left. Continue down through the rows of beads, exiting the TR10 on the right in the first row.
45. Repeat steps 24-44 and secure the other end of the clasp to this component.
46. Return to the first clasp component and using the long thread tail string the following: eight Miyuki 15/0 seed beads, three 11/0 beads, one TR10, one 8/0, three SPR3 beads, one 8/0, one TR10, three 11/0 beads, and eight 15/0 beads.
47. Line up a middle component with the clasp component. Pass through the corresponding TR10 on the middle component. Turn and pass through the next TR10.
48. Follow the pattern in step 46 to add strands of beads between the two components, attaching each to the corresponding TR10 bead. There will be nine strands of beads.
49. Exiting the TR10 (at the end of the ninth strand) pass through the two closest 11/0 beads to turn the thread. Continue back through the same TR10.
50. Repeat step 46 to begin the second layer of beaded strands.
51. Continue in this way until there are nine strands in the second layer.
52. Repeat steps 46-51 on the remaining components.
53. Repeat steps 46-51 to join the two middle components with strands of beads (adding thread as needed). Sew in and trim any remaining thread tails. This pattern makes a bracelet with a finished length of approximately 7.25 inchs.
