Fireline thread 6lb
Needle #12
Step 1:
Pick up 4 beads. |
|
Pass back through all four beads. |
|
… |
|
Pass through the next three beads. |
|
This is what it should look like. |
|
Step 2:
Pick up 3 beads. |
|
Pass back around through the bead you are exiting. |
|
Pass through two of the three beads just added. |

|
… |
|
This is what it should look like. |

Step 3:
Now it’s time to begin connecting our units. Pick up 1 bead. |
|
Pass through the first bead added. |
|
Pick up 1 bead. |
|
Pass through the last bead added. |
|
This is what it should look like. |
|
Pass through the beads until you have reached a loose (unconnected) unit. |
|
… |
|
Step 4:
Here we have a loose unit. We need to connect the four beads to each other. |
|
Pass through all four beads to connect them |
|
… |
|
This is what your newly connected unit should look like. |
|
Repeat step 4 to connect the second loose unit. |

|
… |
|
… |

All of your units should now be connected and forming a cube. |

Pass through the next bead of your unit. |
|
Pick up 2 beads and pass through both the first bead added, and the next bead of your unit. |
