CONTINUATION: the Russian Spiral Stitch
- pick up 1x color A and 2x seed beads and pass the needle thru the first seed bead behind the fire-polished bead
- check that you have lined up a fire-polished bead on top of the previous round in the same color, but slightly offset/diagonal
- as you may notice, you always pick up the fire-polished bead in the color of the next bead beneath it
- to access the next round, you will make an easy 2 bead step-up by going thru the next fire-polished bead and seed bead which are situated slightly higher
- notice also, that due to the step-up, you will skip a color in the series to start the next round, so check always that you pick up the color of the bead ahead
- round 3: having reached the middle of a pair of seed beads, you pick up 1x color C and 2x seed beads and go thru the first seed bead of the next set
- pick up 1x color A and 2x seed beads and go thru the first seed bead of the next set
- pick up 1x color B and 2x seed beads and go thru the first seed bead of the next set
- make the step-up by going thru the next fire-polished bead and the seed bead behind it
- up till now, you have applied the following color scheme for the fire-polished bead: A-B-C, B-C-A, C-A-B – you will repeat this scheme throughout your work
- to start the 4th round, skip a color in the series and pick up 1x color A and 2 seed beads
- the color scheme of the 4th round is identical to the one of the 1st round
- to start the 5th round, skip a color in the series and pick up 1x color B and 2 seed beads
- continue until you reach the desired length and stop after you made a step-up
- attach a toggle with seed beads in three points of the top of the rope to center it correctly
- and enjoy!
