Netting
Published: October 6, 2010 Netting produces airy, flexible beadwork that resembles a net. It can be
worked vertically, horizontally, or in the round. The instructions or
working a pattern vary for each project, but some common variations
include three-, five-, and seven-bead netting. The more beads used in
each stitch, the larger the spaces in the beadwork and the looser the
weave will be.
Netting starts with a base row or round upon which
loops, or nets, are stitched. Subsequent rows or rounds are added by
picking up a given number of beads, and sewing through the middle bead
of the next net in the previous row or round. |
