Herringbone Highway

This is a pattern from the December 2011 Issue of Bead and Button magazine. It's called Herringbone Highway designed by Aryd'ell Hotelling.

In my variation I made only one "lane" instead of the two called for in the pattern. I also used materials I had available.

I'm using 5mm faceted Carnelian round beads with 5mm freshwater pearls for the center of the "highway".

I don't have size 6 seed beads so I used size 8s but strung a 15/o before and after it to fill up the gap.

I used an 8mm round red agate for the toggle.

The finished bracelet.
