Cobblestones Bracelet - LEARNING OBJECTIVES
BW1-SOM-02
BEGINNER LEVEL
-- Bead Weaving Sequence
-- Stitch of the Month
-- Lesson: Netting
-- Bracelet

This bracelet involves creating a netted base, and then adding a second layer of netting as embellishment. I envisioned a bracelet with a lot of textural and color variation embellishment on the surface, to give the feel of a cobblestone walkway. Since I wanted the clasp to look like it was an organic extension of my cobblestone walkway, I decided to make the clasp, in part, using the Netting Stitch. The Netted bracelet is very fluid, and easy to wear. It is a casual piece.
