The St Petersburg Chain Holiday Bracelet uses
the St Petersburg Chain stich that you learned on my blog a couple of weeks ago.
This pattern also curves nice if you would like to make a necklace too. It is
an easy pattern to make. The red and greens makes it look like Christmas, but it can also be beautiful in any colors you choose.

 |
1. Follow the instructions to make the St. Petersburg Chain Bead stitch using the
bead colors from this pattern. This piece will be called the Base section in
the future steps.
|
 |
2. Flip the Base section over so your C beads are on the bottom horizontally. Follow the purple dotted line in illustration through the piece, coming out with thread through the 1 B bead as shown. Pick up 4B, 1C, 4B, go with thread right to left through the same B bead your thread is exiting. |
 |
3. a) Pick up 1C, go with thread right to left through the next B bead in the base section.
b) Pick up 4A, 1C,
go with thread right to left through the same B bead that the thread is
exiting in the base section as shown.

4. Continue by repeating steps #3a and #3b across to the other end.
5. Follow
the purple dotted line in illustration through the piece, coming out with
thread up through the 4 A beads added in the last repeat of step #3b. Pick up
4A, clasp, 4A, go with thread up through the same 4 A beads, step #3b. Go
with working thread around through all the clasps beads several times for
strength. Continue with working thread through the piece, coming out with
thread left to right through the C bead as shown.
