1.Whenever I set up to do a new pattern , I count my rows across and up the side of the pattern , so I will know exactly how many beads are used. For example if the patterns is 80 beads across and 100 rows high,I know I am going to need 800 beads for the pattern. |

| 2.Thread the needle, making as small a knot as you can. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3.Pick up the first 2 beads of the pattern.Pull the beads down to the knot and bring your needle throught the knot to form a loop. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|

| 4.Bring the needle back up through the second bead and pull the thread tight so the beads are lying flat (side by side) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
