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.

strength. Continue with working thread through the piece, coming out with
