There’s something about right-angle weave that brings out my silly side. Every word or phrase that popped into my head while writing this made me laugh. Righteous, right on, all the right moves, in your right mind . . . ridiculous!

Silliness aside, right-angle weave is a lacy, geometric, sculptur-al, flexible stitch. I’m honestly puzzled why I’ve only dabbled with it. Especially considering that the few right-angle weave bracelets that I’ve made are the ones that get the most com-pliments! It’s also the stitch that most often prompts people to ask me, “Can you teach me that?”

Thanks to this ebook Right-Angle Weave: Beading Daily Presents 5 Free Beadweaving Patterns, the answer is yes! Here are five right-angle weave patterns that you’re sure to enjoy. Learn the basics of right-angle weave with the sparkling Comet Right-Angle Weave Earrings by Step by Step Beads editor Leslie Rogalski. Then create a long ribbon of inch-wide

beadwork with the colorful Ribbons necklace by Chris Pruss-ing. The Achimedes’s Star bracelet by Gwen Fisher uses a technique variation that produces a lacy star pattern. Tina Koyama’s Triple Quatrefoil Wrap features fire-polished rounds to create a pretty cuff. Wrap up your right-angle weave exploration with the bold Egyptian Cuff by Shelley Nybakke. Shelley’s project is currently the most popular free project on Beading Daily with more than 60,000 downloads!

After making the projects in this collection, you’ll be on the right track with right-angle weave! (You knew that was com-ing, right?)

Step 1: Thread your needle on a 4’ length of FireLine. String 4 crystals, leaving a 6” tail: 1 light, 1 Jet, 1 light, 1 Jet. Tie a knot with your working thread and tail, forming a snug circle of bicones (beads 1–4).

Step 2: Working counterclockwise around this circle, pass through beads 1, 2, and 3. Pick up 1 Jet, 1 light, and 1 Jet (beads 5, 6, and 7) and pass clockwise through beads 3, 5, and 6.

Step 3: Pick up 1 light and 2 Jet (beads 8, 9, and 10) so your colors turn the corner, and pass counterclockwise through beads 6 and 8.

Leslie Rogalski is editor in chief of Step by Step Beads, and a contributing editor to Step by Step Wire Jewelry and Creative Jewelry. She has been an artist and writer (among other things) all her life.

Artist’s TipRight–angle weave is always worked in a circular motion, changing from clockwise to counterclockwise with each round. Each round includes 4 beads but will share beads with the previous round: You actually pick up 3 new beads, not 4, with each round in this project. Notice in Steps 3 and 5 when the color turns the corners to keep the mirror stripe of Comet Argent light in the middle of your zigzag!

presented by beadingdaily 4Leslie Rogalski’s Silver Comet

Step 4: Here’s your first 90° turn, where you start working the second leg of your zigzag: Pick up 1 Jet, 1 light, and 1 Jet (beads 11, 12, and 13) and pass clockwise through beads 8, 11, and 12. Pick up 1 Jet, 1 light, and 1 Jet (beads 14, 15, and 16) and pass counterclockwise through beads 12, 14, and 15.

Step 5: Here’s another corner turn for color: Pick up 1 light and 2 Jet (beads 17, 18, and 19). Pass clockwise through beads 15 and 17. You’re now ready to start working your third leg of the zigzag.

Step 6: Pick up 1 Jet, 1 light, and 1 Jet (beads 20, 21, and 22). Pass counterclockwise through beads 17, 20, and 21.

Step 7: In this last round, you attach the closed jump ring for your ear wire. Pick up 1 Jet, 1 light, 1 jump ring, and 1 Jet. Pass twice clockwise through beads 21, 23, 24, the jump ring, and 25. Knot the thread discretely but securely between beads 25 and 21 and weave the end through existing thread paths, in a circular motion. Trim carefully.

Step 8: Gently twist open the loop of one ear wire, string on the jump ring and earring, and close the ear–wire loop. Repeat for your second earring. F

Ribbonsdesign by Chris Prussing

originally published in Beadwork Creates Necklaces, 2002.

The design possibilities of this simple technique are endless! The basic necklace is a long ribbon of inch-wide beadwork with the ends joined at a right angle.

Chris Prussing is the author of Beading with Right Angle Weave (Interweave, 2004).

Step 1: Using 5’ of thread, string a needle on each end. For the vertical pattern, string 1 B and let it fall to the center of the thread. String a seed bead on each needle. On the right needle, string 1 C and a seed bead. On the left needle, string 1 A, a seed bead, and 1 B. Cross the right needle through the B on the left.For the horizontal pattern, string 1 A and let it fall to the center of the thread. On the right needle, string 1 A and a seed bead. On the left needle, string 1 A, 1 seed bead, and 1 A. Cross the right needle through the last A on the left.

Step 2: Work three eighty-unit-long rows of double-needle right-angle weave (Figure 1). Use a piece of masking tape at the bottom of the first row to keep the beadwork in place on the work surface. The blocks of the horizontal pattern are worked as little U-shapes for the first half of the ribbon, then reversed for the second half. The sequence shown starts with 3 strips of each color, then 2 strips

of each color, reversing to 2 strips of each color, then 3, and ending with 4 strips of G. G beads are also used to join the two ends.

Step 3: Once the ribbon is complete with the thread exiting from the side of the third row, bring the other end around (be careful not to twist it) and butt it up against the end of the third row. Use the threads from the end of the third row to add an additional row to connect the two ends (Figure 2). Then work into the body of the necklace, tie a knot, and pass through several beads and pull tight to hide the knot. When you’re joining the ends, select beads to maintain the color pattern or use different accent beads. The diagrams show the relationship between the center of the necklace and the joining beads.

Artist’s Tips• Make your bracelet wider or thinner by

changing the number of stars in each row.• Use the pattern to create a snowflake

ornament by making one star, then surrounding it with six more stars.

Archimedes’s Stardesign by Gwen Fisher

originally published in Beadwork, August/September 2009.

The intricate weaving used to create this bracelet forms an Archimedean-tiling pattern with hexagons and triangles. The clasp employs fringe to create button toggles that attach right into the holes in the weave.

Star 4: Weave through beads to exit from the last B added to Star 3. String 2A; pass through the third B of Star 2’s third loop. String 2A; pass through the B between Star 2’s second and third loops. String 2A; pass through the second B of Star 2’s second loop. *String 2A, 1B, 2A, 1B, 1C, 1B, 1C, 1B, and 1C and pass through the second B just strung to form a loop; repeat from * twice for a total of 3 loops. String 2A, 1B, and 2A; pass through the second B of Star 3’s fourth loop. String 2A; pass through the B between Star 2’s third loop and Star 3’s fourth loop (Fig. 4).

Star 5: Weave through beads to exit the B between Star 2’s second loop and Star 4’s first loop. String 2A; pass through the third B of Star 4’s first loop. String 2A, 1B, 2A, 1B, 1C, 1B, 1C, 1B, and 1C and pass through the second B just strung to form a loop; repeat twice for a total of 3 loops. String 2A, 1B, and 2A; pass through the second B of Star 2’s first loop. String 2A; pass through the B between Star 2’s first and second loops (Fig. 5a).

Star 6: Weave through beads to exit from the B between Star 2’s first loop and Star 5’s third loop. String 2A; pass through the third B of Star 2’s first loop. String 2A; pass through the B between Star 2’s first loop and Star 1’s second loop. String 2A; pass through the second B in Star 1’s second loop; pass through the B between Star 1’s second and third loops. String 2A; pass through the third B of Star 1’s third loop.

Stars 7 and on: Repeat Stars 4, 5, and 6 eight times for a total of 30 stars or for the desired length.

Step 2: Border. Weave through beads to exit from 1B between two loops of the base’s side edge. String 2A and pass through the first B of the nearest loop. String 1A, 1B, and 1A and pass through the next B of the loop to create a point. String 2A; pass through the next edge B. Repeat this step down the base’s side edge (Fig. 6). Note: The base end edge has a slightly different bead count; some loops require an extra 2B to connect them. Just keep in mind that when adding the border, partially exposed loops require 2B between and fully exposed loops require the 1A/1B/1A sequence to form the points. Secure the thread and trim.

Step 3: Clasp. Start 2’ of thread that exits from 2A at the edge of one end of the bracelet, between two loops, toward the beadwork. String 9A, 1 disc, and 1B; pass back through the disc. String 9A; pass through the edge B between the loops (Fig. 7a). Repeat the thread path to secure the disc and pass through the next several beads on the end edge (Fig. 7b). Continue to weave through beads along the end of the bracelet to exit from the

edge B between the next two loops; add another disc as before. Repeat once more between the remaining two end loops to add the remaining disc. Secure the thread and trim. F

Triple Quatrefoildesign by Tina Koyama

originally published in Beadwork, June/July 2009.

When Tina chose to work with this pretty pattern, she immediately saw right-angle-weave stitches. The quatrefoil shape can be seen in the bracelet base, in the three-dimensional embellishments, and even in the clasp attachment (thus, the project name).

Step 1: Base. Leaving a 12” tail, use 5’ of conditioned thread and 4D to stitch a right-angle-weave strip 4 units wide and 22 rows long (or as many rows needed to reach the desired length minus the width of the clasp). Secure the thread and trim.

Step 2: Edging. Start 5’ of conditioned thread that exits from a D at one corner of the bracelet on the opposite end from the tail. String 1C and pass through the adjacent edge D. Repeat around the outside edge of the base. Weave through beads to exit from the left-side D of the unit at the top right corner of the base, toward the beadwork (Fig. 1).

Step 3: Inside corners. String 1C and pass through the left-side D of the second unit in the row. String 1B and pass through the third left-side D in the row. String 1C and pass through the fourth left-side D in the row.To work a turnaround, pass through the next 2D of the nearest unit in the next row (Fig. 2a). Add seed beads between the row’s left-side Ds in this order: 1B, 1C, and 1B.Continue adding seed beads in the corners of each unit down the center of the strip, alternating the 1C/1B/1C sequence with the 1B/1C/1B one (Fig. 2b).

Step 4: Picots. Weave through beads to exit toward the beadwork from an inside-corner seed bead added in the previous step. If the bead you exit is a C, string 1C, 1A, 1C; if the bead is a B, string 3B. Pass through the same inside-corner seed bead exited from the previous step, forming a picot. Pass through the next D and the following inside-corner seed bead (Fig. 3). Repeat to embellish the strip with picots, following the same turnaround thread path as in Step 3 to advance to the next row. Secure the thread but do not trim. Exit from 1C between the first and second fire-polished rounds at one end of the base.

Step 5: Clasp. String 1C, the top loop of one half of the clasp, and 1C. Pass through the last C exited on the bracelet to form a loop. Repeat the thread path several times to reinforce. Weave through beads to exit the next 1C at the end of the bracelet (Fig. 4). Repeat to connect the 2 remaining clasp loops. Secure the thread and trim. Use the tail thread to repeat the entire step at the other end of the bracelet, using the other half of the clasp. F

Egyptian Cuff design by Shelley Nybakke

originally published in Beadwork, december 2008/January 2009.

This metal-bead cuff has just the right amount of crystal sparkle, worthy of an Egyptian princess. Worked in segments, the multilayer right-angle-weave rectangles are first woven, then connected with loops of beads.

Finished size: 7"

Shelley Nybakke owns The Bead Parlor in Bloomington, Illinois, where she also teaches a variety of classes. As well, she has the wonderful privilege of traveling and teaching workshops around the country. She thinks a day without beads is hardly ever worth getting out of bed for.

Step 1: Rectangle. Use seed beads and crystals to work a three-layer rectangle with right-angle weave:Layer 1: Use 6’ of doubled thread and seed

beads to work a rectangle of right-angle weave 8 units long and 4 rows wide. Weave through the work to exit toward the work from the bead that connects the last two units made.

Layer 2 (vertical beads): String 1 seed bead and pass through the next Layer 1 vertical seed bead; pull the thread tight until the bead clicks into place. Repeat to add a total of 3 seed beads. Weave through the next two Layer 1 beads to begin the next row (Fig. 1). Repeat this row six times to add a total of 21 beads.

Fig. 1: Layer 2 vertical beads indicated in orange

presented by beadingdaily 12Shelly Nybakke’s Egyptian Cuff

Layer 2 (horizontal beads): Use seed beads to work off the Layer 2 vertical beads to complete 18 right-angle-weave units, adding a total of 24 beads (Fig. 2).

Layer 3 (seed beads): Weave through beads to exit toward the work from the horizontal bead left of center at one end of Layer 2. String 1 seed bead; pass through the next Layer 2 horizontal bead. Pull tight so the bead clicks into place. Repeat down the strip to add a total of 5 seed beads (Fig. 3). Weave through the next two Layer 2 beads to begin the next row. Work back up the rectangle, continuing to add beads as before for a total of 10 beads.

Layer 3 (crystals): Use crystals to work 5 right-angle-weave units off the beads already added in this layer, adding a total of 6 crystals (Fig. 4). Secure the thread and trim. Set aside.

Repeat entire step for a total of 7 rectangles.

Step 2: Connecting loops. Connect the rectangles with loops of seed beads and crystals:Loop 1: Start 6’ of thread that exits up through 1 rectangle’s top

right horizontal bead on the long side. String 4 seed beads, 1 crystal, and 4 seed beads; pass down through the bead on a second rectangle that mirrors the one last exited on the first rectangle (this completes the top half of the loop). String 4 seed beads, 1 crystal, and 4 seed beads; pass up through the last bead exited on the first rectangle to form an oval loop, connecting the rectangles (this completes the bottom half of the loop). Weave through beads to exit down through the next Layer 1 horizontal side bead on the long side of the first rectangle (Fig. 5).

Loop 2: Repeat the stringing sequence from Loop 1 to connect the second side beads of the 2 rectangles. For this and the following loops, be sure that the top half of the loop remains above the bottom half of the prior loop (the loop halves will begin to stack). Weave through beads to exit from the rectangle’s next side bead.

Loops 3–8: Repeat Loop 2, connecting the 2 rectangles with strands of beads.

Repeat entire step to connect a total of 7 rectangles.

Step 3: Ends. Stitch one half of the clasp to one end of the band. Repeat the thread path several times to reinforce. Repeat for the other end, making sure the clasp is oriented correctly. Secure the thread and trim. F

Pass through means to move your needle in the same direction that the beads have been strung. Pass back through means to move your needle in the opposite direction.

F i N i S h i N G a N d S Ta R T i N G N e w T h R e a d S

Tie off your old thread when it’s about 4" long by making a simple knot between beads. Pass through a few beads and pull tight to hide the knot. Weave through a few more beads and trim the thread close to the work. Start the new thread by tying a knot between beads and weaving through a few beads. Pull tight to hide the knot. Weave through several beads until you reach the place to resume beading.

F R i N G eExit from your foundation

row of beads or fabric. String a length of beads plus 1 bead. Skipping the last bead, pass back through all the beads just strung to create a fringe leg. Pass back into the foundation row or fabric.

R i G h T- a N G L e w e av eFor single-needle

right-angle weave, string 4 beads and pass through the first 3 beads again to form the first unit (A). For the rest of the row, string 3 beads, pass through the last bead passed through in the previous unit, and the first 2 just strung; the thread path will resemble a fig-ure eight, alternating directions with each unit. To begin the next row, pass through beads to exit the side bead of the last unit. String 3 beads, pass through the last bead passed through, and the first bead just strung (B). *String 2 beads, pass through the next edge bead of the previous row, the last bead passed through in the previous unit, and the last 2 beads just strung (C). Pass through the next edge bead of the previous row, string 2 beads, pass through the last bead of the previous unit, the edge bead just passed through, and the first bead just strung (D). Repeat from * to complete the row, then begin a new row as before.
