Double St. Petersburg Chain Bead stitch - Learn how

Last time I showed you how to do the St Petersburg Chain.  Now that you have mastered that stitch, the Double St. Petersburg Chain should be easy to learn. *Please note in the illustrations the C bead is drawn as a drop bead, but in the finished sample I used seed beads instead. You can use either bead.

Start by waxing and stretching your thread, use Nymo D or C-Lon & a #11 or #12 beading needle. Tie in a "stopper" bead, leaving about an 8" tail and begin at step #1.

1. Follow the instructions to make the St Petersburg Chain Bead stitch pattern. This piece will be called the Base Section in the future steps.

	2. Start a new working thread with a stopper bead and go with working thread up through the 1st B bead added in the Base Section piece in step #1. Pick up 6A, go with thread up through the 3rd and 4th A beads just added in this step.
	3. Pick up 1C, go with thread down through the 4th, 3rd and 2nd A bead, step #2, up through the B bead in the Base Section, step #3, and the 6th and 5th A beads, step #2.
	4. Pick up 4A, go with thread up through the 1st and 2nd A beads just added in this step. Make sure to pull up thread so that the 1st A bead added in this step is snug and next to the 5th A bead, step #2.
	5. Pick up 1C, go with thread down through the 2nd and 1st A beads, step #4, up through the 1 B bead, added in the Base Section, step #6 or step #9, and the 4th and 3rd A beads, step #4.

6.  Continue by repeating steps #4 and #5 until you reach the end.
That’s it, Happy Beading!
