Woven Chocolate Crystal Bracelet

I'm always looking for simple stitching patterns to bead, and this one seems easy enough for a beginning bead weaver like myself. This bracelet would also make a great, classy gift. I might make it to give my mom for her birthday!

I like the chocolate color of this bracelet it is so elegant looking but can be worn anywhere and is not hard to make. This will make a great gift for mom or someone that loves jewelry. Can you just see their face when they open this beauty up. Add a pair of earrings and it will be even more special. You can change the bead color to match a certain outfit. This is a must on my list.

A friend, who is married to a retired police man wanted a thin blue line bracelet. She wanted a fancier one then a parasite style. Something she could wear with her fancy duds. So I sat down and came up with a very similar design. I used black Czech crystal beads on the outer edges and tiny Capri blue swarovski crystals for the blue line. I will try to post a pic. This design is going to be my next project

I'm not really fond of bicones, because of their sharp edges, though their shape lends itself to many beading patterns. Though in this pattern I don't think they would feel as sharp because of the way they're woven together. It's like a walkway to a house nearby where they placed all the cobble stones sideways kind of how lentil beads are woven it's very easy to walk on because all the stones are level

I have seen this particular pattern on this site several times. I have tried to print the directions several times and they have failed to print. If this is indeed a free pattern site then this pattern should be removed from the site because I cannot and I expect several others have tried and failed to get this pattern. If the designer wants paid she should go somewhere else with this pattern.

in windows, just go to "file" then "print" and it will print for you after you have opened the project. Or you could go to the "PDF" file and print it from there. Hope that helps.

I clicked on her download pattern link and the pdf downloaded just fine. So if I need to print it out it's no prob. Though I'm trying to go as paperless as possible so I usually download it to my smart phone then I always have the pattern with me. Wish I had a tablet PC, though that would be the best of all worlds. :-)

I had the same problem. I could not find a tab for PDF or File drop down menu. I right clicked and chose Print, but it gave me blank pages. Shouldn't be this complicated. Other patterns on this site are easy to print. Too bad because I really like this design.

I finally found the download link, if you scroll down the page on the instructions page, there is a small picture of the bracelet, somewhere in the middle of the instructions, and underneath it says download this pattern (or something like that) click on the picture and the pdf appears, then just click download in your pdf software

Try another internet connection A change of network or server may be your fix I could not download from one Wi-Fi network but had no trouble downloading it from another If you still can't download it copy and paste from the webpage to a word processor document If you have Windows or don't know about or you will find a program called Snippet under Accessories on the all programs menu It takes a good picture of what is on your screen and saves it as a PNG file You might have to take multiple shots to record what you want just be sure to save each shot with a number or letter attached to the name so you can tell the sequence Or and this works on every Windows program since Windows press the print screen button on your keyboard open a Word Works or WordPad document and click on Paste…Read More merge document option works best You might have to experiment first to get the right Zoom on the webpage so you can read the picture without a problem It will probably work with other word processing programs as well but I have not tried it I don't know if it works the same on a Mac OS but it probably would Phones and tablets have wp apps Google or Bing are good places to search for information on how to copy and paste on your device Don't let a pain in the website keep you from getting what you want Unless of course it is copywrited then it won't let you copy it

I've made this bracelet under several different names. I'd call it a beginner project as I always start people out making it once they get beyond basic stringing. I've also made it using four mm's for the center, 3 mm's for the outside and then used a second center row and a third outside row. It is a very adaptable design.

I too cannot print this, when I click to print some of the wording is overlapping and double layered... and there is NO PDF file!
