Artists Tip
Rightangle weave is always worked in a circular
motion, changing from clockwise to counterclockwise
with each round. Each round includes 4 beads but will
share beads with the previous round: You actually pick
up 3 new beads, not 4, with each round in this project.
Notice in Steps 3 and 5 when the color turns the
corners to keep the mirror stripe of Comet Argent light
in the middle of your zigzag!
Step 4: Heres your first 90 turn, where you start working the
second leg of your zigzag: Pick up 1 Jet, 1 light, and 1 Jet (beads
11, 12, and 13) and pass clockwise through beads 8, 11, and 12.
Pick up 1 Jet, 1 light, and 1 Jet (beads 14, 15, and 16) and pass
counterclockwise through beads 12, 14, and 15.
Step 5: Heres another corner turn for color: Pick up 1 light and
2 Jet (beads 17, 18, and 19). Pass clockwise through beads 15
and 17. Youre now ready to start working your third leg of the
zigzag.
Step 8: Gently twist open the loop of one ear wire, string on
the jump ring and earring, and close the earwire loop. Repeat
for your second earring. F

Step 6: Pick up 1 Jet, 1 light, and 1 Jet (beads 20, 21, and 22).
Pass counterclockwise through beads 17, 20, and 21.
Step 7: In this last round, you attach the closed jump ring for
your ear wire. Pick up 1 Jet, 1 light, 1 jump ring, and 1 Jet. Pass
twice clockwise through beads 21, 23, 24, the jump ring, and
25. Knot the thread discretely but securely between beads 25
and 21 and weave the end through existing thread paths, in a
circular motion. Trim carefully.

Artists Tips
Make your bracelet wider or thinner by
changing the number of stars in each row.
Use the pattern to create a snowflake
ornament by making one star, then
surrounding it with six more stars.

Stars 7 and on: Repeat Stars 4, 5, and 6 eight times for a total of
30 stars or for the desired length.
Step 2: Border. Weave through beads to exit from 1B between
two loops of the bases side edge. String 2A and pass through
the first B of the nearest loop. String 1A, 1B, and 1A and pass
through the next B of the loop to create a point. String 2A; pass
through the next edge B. Repeat this step down the bases side
edge (Fig. 6). Note: The base end edge has a slightly different
bead count; some loops require an extra 2B to connect them.
Just keep in mind that when adding the border, partially
exposed loops require 2B between and fully exposed loops
require the 1A/1B/1A sequence to form the points. Secure the
thread and trim.
edge B between the next two loops; add another disc as before.
Repeat once more between the remaining two end loops to
add the remaining disc. Secure the thread and trim. F

Step 5: Clasp. String 1C, the top loop of one half of the clasp,
and 1C. Pass through the last C exited on the bracelet to form a
loop. Repeat the thread path several times to reinforce. Weave
through beads to exit the next 1C at the end of the bracelet
(Fig. 4). Repeat to connect the 2 remaining clasp loops. Secure the
thread and trim. Use the tail thread to repeat the entire step at the
other end of the bracelet, using the other half of the clasp. F

Tie off your old thread when its about 4" long by
making a simple knot between beads. Pass through
a few beads and pull tight to hide the knot. Weave
through a few more beads and trim the thread close
to the work. Start the new thread by tying a knot
between beads and weaving through a few beads.
Pull tight to hide the knot. Weave through several
beads until you reach the place to resume beading.
