Go back through the first and second top seedbeads on the ladder, then add 5 seed beads. The middle one is shown in a different color because thatīs how I made mine. Pass needle and thread through the middle bead in the next 3 seed bead space, add 5 more seed beads, then pass through the next middle in a 3 bead space, bring your needle and thread out of that bead, and up through the last 3 of the beads you just added.

Add 3 seed beads, pass needle and thread through the center bead of the next loop, add 3 more seed beads, pass needle and thread through the top bead in the next loop. Bring the needle and thread back through the last 2 beads you just added.
