[10] Pick up three 2.4 mms, skip the next 2.4 mm, cube, and 2.4 mm in the strand, and sew through the next 2.4 mm picked up in step 4. Continue through the adjacent 3 mm round bead and the next 2.4 mm picked up in step 4 (c–d). Repeat this step for the length of the strand. These will be called the front swags.[11] Pick up four 2.4 mms, skip the next 2.4 mm, cube, and 2.4 mm in the strand, and sew through the beads in the loop at this end of the strand. Step up through

the last 2.4 mm picked up in this step.[12] Work a square stitch thread path as follows: Sew through the adjacent 2.4 mm in the back swag, the 2.4 mm your thread exited at the start of this step, and the next 2.4 mm in the front swag (figure 4, a–b). Repeat this stitch three times (b–c). Sew through the beadwork to exit the first 2.4 mm in the next front swag (c–d). Continue working a square stitch thread path to connect the remaining front and back swags of 2.4 mms. End the thread.

Double toggle bar[1] On 1 yd. (.9 m) of thread, attach a stop bead, leaving a 6-in. (15 cm) tail.[2] Pick up five 3 mm round beads, two bicones, and a 2.4 mm. Sew back through the second bicone (figure 5, a–b). Pick up a bicone, five 3 mm round beads, two bicones, and a 2.4 mm. Sew back through the second bicone (b–c). Pick up a bicone, and sew through the first four 3 mm round beads picked up in this step (c–d).[3] Referring to figure 6, wrap the thread one-and- a-half times around the

adjacent thread bridge, and sew through the next 3 mm round bead in this column. Repeat this stitch three more times, and exit an end 3 mm round bead.[4] Pick up a 2.4 mm, and sew through the 3 mm round bead in the opposite column. Pick up a bicone, and sew through the next 3 mm round bead in the opposite column. Referring to figure 7, add three more bicones and a 2.4 mm.[5] Sew through the next four edge 3 mm round beads to exit an end 3 mm. Flip the beadwork so the bicones are face down on your work surface, and repeat step 4, but replace the bicones with 3 mm round beads. This side will be referred to as the spine of the bar. Sew through the beadwork to exit the

second 3 mm round bead in the spine. Do not end the working thread or tail.[6] Repeat steps 1–5 to make a second toggle bar.[7] With the working thread from the first toggle bar, pick up three 2.4 mms, and sew through the corresponding 3 mm round bead in the spine of the second toggle bar (figure 8, a–b).[8] Pick up two 2.4 mms, and sew through the third 3 mm round bead in the spine of the second toggle bar (b–c).[9] Pick up three 2.4 mms, and sew through the corre-sponding 3 mm round bead in the spine of the first toggle bar (c–d).[10] Pick up two 2.4 mms, and sew through the second 3 mm round bead in the spine (d–e). Retrace the thread

path through the connecting 2.4 mms.[11] With the working thread from the second toggle bar, retrace the thread path through the connecting 2.4 mms. Remove the stop bead from each bar, and end the threads.

Earrings[1] On 24 in. (61 cm) of thread, attach a stop bead (Basics), leaving a 6-in. (15 cm) tail.[2] Pick up a 2.4 mm round bead, a 6 mm crystal cube, and seven 2.4 mms. Sew through the loop of an earring finding and back through the last 2.4 mm. Pick up five 2.4 mms, and sew through the first three beads picked up in this step in the same direction. Retrace the thread path

through all the beads, exiting the 2.4 mm, cube, and 2.4 mm at the bottom of the earring.[3] Pick up five 2.4 mms, and sew through the 2.4 mm, cube, and 2.4 mm at the bottom of the earring. Repeat this step to create a second swag.[4] Work as in step 12 of “Necklace: Strand” to con-nect the two swags of five 2.4 mms, and then sew through the beadwork to exit the center 2.4 mm in the front swag.[5] Work as in step 4 of “Necklace: Strand,” and continue through the next two 2.4 mms and the first three beads picked up in step 2. Remove the stop bead, and end the working thread and tail (Basics).[6] Make a second earring. w
