This pattern is also available in loom. I couldn't decide which variation of this pattern I liked the best, so you get both variations of the design for the price of 1.

This is for the pattern only and is not for a completed bracelet. The bracelet pictured is loomed by my Pattern Tester, Georgia Grisolia, GGs Designs. She uses my patterns to loom her beautiful bracelets with a few adjustments to my design: she changed the colors, adjusted the size, tapered the ends and added an aesthetic clasp. This finished bracelet and other jewelry by GGs Designs is available for sale at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ggsdesigns
The other bracelet pictured is peyote stitched by my Pattern Tester, Penny Ripley.

DESCRIPTION OF PATTERN:
The pattern uses 2 or 6 suggested Delica colors and it measures 2.2 x 8 inches or desired dimensions, using size 11 Miyuki Delicas. Sold as a digital download, this bracelet pattern can be used as a panel, hatband, bookmark, choker, credit card holder, amulet, etc. by reducing or enlarging the pattern accordingly and/or using different size beads.

The PDF file includes:
1. large color images of the patterns,
2. large symbol graphs,
3. word charts that read left to right & reverse for the peyote patterns and
4. lists of suggested Delica colors with the amounts of suggested beads needed.

Print the page/s you want: 10 pages for the color symbol graphs and/or 17 pages for the word charts. THIS PATTERN DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PEYOTE STITCH. YOU MUST KNOW THE PEYOTE STITCH TO CONSTRUCT THIS BRACELET.

I hope you find my designs interesting and stimulating, as I love to dabble in geometric, abstract, repeating, tiled and tessellated patterns. You will have conversational pieces of art when you wear my designs. I started designing because I got tired of redesigning 6 to 7 inch bracelet patterns, making them longer and sometimes twice as wide as the original pattern. My patterns are generally between 7 to 8 inches long and 1.5 to 2.25 inches wide. Of course you can make my patterns shorter, thinner, longer or wider because they are usually repeat patterns or use size 15s to create a smaller bracelet.

My patterns can be used to make: cuff bracelet, sun catcher, panel, hatband, bookmark, choker, credit card holder, business card case, checkbook cover, amulet bag, cosmetic bag, wall hanging, appliqué, belt, guitar strap, eye glass case, pouch, coaster, change purse, earrings, pendants, napkin rings, etc.

Be sure to get my 4 FREE pdfs, for size 11s & 15s, which list the Delica 'Safe Beads' I have compiled. I don't suggest any dyed or galvanized beads in my patterns because they fade and the color rubs off with time. I also don't use satin beads because they tend to cut the beading thread and because they are thinner than other Delicas, they break very easily. I want your beaded art to last forever. The colors of my designs are only suggestions, but please remember to avoid dyed, galvanized and satin beads, so you won't be disappointed later.

The 4 FREE 'Safe Beads' Lists also indicate the bead finishes that will either pop or recede in your beadwork. The P or R after the Delica's Mfg # represents whether the bead (P)ops or comes forward or (R)ecedes. PR or RP indicates that the bead can pop or recede depending on the type of bead finish it is next to. Keep this in mind when changing my suggested colors.
