Learn square stitch
Square stitch joins beads in straight rows and columns with a needle and thread. Each new bead loops onto the matching bead in the row below.
How to build a row with square stitch
- Add a stop bead and string the beads for your first row.
- Pick up the first bead for the next row. Pass back through the matching bead in the first row, then through the new bead again to seat it beside that bead.
- Repeat for each pair of beads. Turn at the end and attach each bead of the new row to the bead directly beneath it.
