Cascade bracelet

Cascade Bracelet

Adaptation of Cascade Earrings by Jane McLellan

As mentioned in earlier post, this bracelet is an application of Jane’s Cascade Earrings pattern.

No change in stitchcount of each ring or the process/path. 

Merely reduced the number of rings, making smaller 'diamonds' along the length 

and adding the entire earring pattern too for a bit of width and interest.

All in one pass, in size 20 Anchor and 4mm white pearl beads. 7 inches long.

Techniques : single shuttle , SSSR - single shuttle split ring,lock join, bead at base of ring.

After 2 rings, in order to make the next single ring in center, 

I made a lock join to the bare thread between the rings. 

This is required because the shuttle is on the farther side of the bead.

It was fun all the way !! And I like the gentle colours.

Once you get into a rhythm, the pattern flows easily and it is quick to tat up.

The bracelet took up a fully loaded Pony shuttle - that would be around 6 yards.

Hope you too are inspired to tat up the earrings and bracelet set J
