Half Round Lace Bracelet pattern


This cute little bracelet is based on my "Round Lace Bracelet" Pattern. You can probably make it in half the time because it is half the bracelet. I have also included step-by-step instructions on how to do the simple closer. No need to run out and get a metal closure. You can easily make it with the same beads you used for your bracelet.


A = Miyuki, 11° SEED beads
B = 4mm Fire-polished crystals

Start by waxing and stretching your thread, use Nymo D or C-Lon & a #11 or #12 beading needle. I used Fireline 6lb. crystal.  Tie in a "stopper" bead, leaving about an 12" tail and begin at step #1.
 
1. Pick up 1B, 17A, go with thread forward through the 1 B bead and the 1st through 9th A beads just added.
2. Pick up 11A, go with thread up through the 9th A bead, step #1 (first time) or the 6th A bead, step #5 (every time after) and forward through the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th A beads just added in this step.
3. Pick up 7A, go with thread forward through the 4th and 5th A beads, step #2.

4. Pick up 4A, go with thread down through the 5th, 6th and 7th A beads, step #3, and forward through the 5th and 6th A beads, step #2.
5. Pick up 8A, go with thread down through the 3rd, 2nd and 1st A beads, step #4, and forward through the 6th and 7th A beads, step #2.
6. Pick up 4A, go with thread down through the 3rd, 2nd and 1st A beads, step #5, and forward through the 7th and 8th A beads, step #2.
7. Pick up 4A, go with thread down through the 3rd, 2nd and 1st A beads, step #6, and forward through the 8th and 9th A beads, step #2.
8. Pick up 1B, go with thread right to left through the 3rd A bead, step #2, down through the B bead just added and forward through the 9th, 10th and 11th A beads, step #2. Continue with working thread through the bracelet, coming out with thread up through the 6th A bead, step #5.








9.
Continue bracelet by repeating steps #2 through #8 until you reach the length that you want.


10. Continue with working thread up through the 6th A bead, step #5.
Pick up 8A, go with thread down through the 7th, 6th and 5th A beads added in the last repeat of step #5, and forward through the 1st through 5th A beads just added.
11. Pick up 2A, go with thread down through the 4th and 5th A beads added in the previous step and up through the 2 A beads just added.

12. Pick up 1B, 1A, go with thread down through the B bead just added, and the 4th and 5th A beads, step #10.
13. Pick up 1B, 1A, go with thread up through the B bead just added, and the 2 A beads, step #11.
14. a) Pick up 5A, go with thread through the 1 A and down through the B beads, step #12, and down through the 2 A beads, step #11. b) Pick up 5A, go with thread through the 1 A and up through the B beads, step #13, and through the 5th through 1st A beads, step #10. Weave the working thread into the bracelet and end.
