Start by waxing and stretching your thread. Tie in a “stopper” bead, leaving about a 8-10” tail and begin at step #1. 

1. Pick up 2C, 2A, 1C, go with thread forward through the 1st and 2nd C and the 2 A beads

2. Pick up 3C, go with thread down through the 2 A beads and forward (around) through the 3 C beads just added in this step.
Pull up thread so the beads form a circle.

3. a) Pick up 1B, go with thread around through the 3 C beads on the left.
b) Pick up 1B, go with thread forward through the 2 C beads on the right

4. Pick up 1C, 2A, 1C, go with thread up through the 2nd C bead added in step #2, the 1 C and 2 A beads just added in this step.

5. Continue bracelet (row 1) by repeating steps #2 through #4 until you reach the length that you want your bracelet to be.

Do not do this step if you are going to do 2 Rows continue to step #7.
6. If you are doing the bracelet that is row 1 only, add your clasp now by picking up 4A, clasp, 4A, go with thread down through the end C bead. Continue with thread around through all the clasp beads several times, and then weave in your working thread and end. Repeat in the same manner on the other end after removing the stopper bead.

7. If you are going to do a 2 row bracelet, start the second row by continuing with your working thread right to left through the 1st C bead added in a repeat of step #2.

8.  Row 2, pick up 2A, 2C, go with thread right to left through the crystal in row 1. Continue with thread around through all the beads added in this step.

b) Pick up 5A, clasp, 5A, go with thread up through the end C bead in row 2, the B bead and the end C bead in row 1. Continue with thread around through all the clasp beads several times for strength.
