Regal Square Stitch Bracelet design by June Wiseman
Penelope Learns a new Stitch
I’m playing catch up with some of my bead projects.
I picked up the Regal Square Stitch Bracelet kit at the same time that I purchased my monster bracelet. I was walking past the Tapestry beads booth and this bracelet caught my eye. I adore the color scheme. I just simply could not take my eyes off of it.
I spoke with Jill and she told me that the stitch is so strong, that you can cut the bracelet in two between the rows of beads and the beads will not unravel. This is very much true. I’m not a particularly detailed oriented person so I made several mistakes in the pattern.Unfortunately I didn’t notice them until I was quite a few rows up. I undid a few rows on several occasions and at one point I restarted the bracelet in its entirety. I did cut it in half though just to see and it is an incredibly strong stitch, so pay attention when you’re making it.. you don’t want to have to undo it. Trust me.

The square stitch itself is a remarkably easy stitch to learn how to do. I’d go so far as to say that this particular project is a good beginner beading project. Not only that, but it is a show stopper and is reasonably priced to boot. If you aren’t lucky enough to catch the Wiseman’s at a bead show, you can oder a kit directly from them through their bead site.
