The illustrations of how to do the stitches do not have as many beads as the pattern itself for the sake of simplicity. They simply serve as examples of how to do the stitches.
When I started this project it was because I was trying to make myself do two stitches I’m really not comfortable with yet, brick and square.I know a lot of bead artists started with brick stitch, but I started with
peyote and have never been able to get completely comfortable in brick.Square stitch is durable, strong, and slow, so I did a modified square stitch, adding two beads at a time instead of just one, comes out a little softer, but for a choker it seemed perfect to have it not be so stiff.
This choker is done in rich colors and looks quite rich when it’s done,it’s made up with two brick stitch triangles and a main centerpiece of square stitch connected by horizontal netting, the closure is a button closure, I used a 3/8th vintage button I had.

Supply List:
Red silver lined size 11 beads
Matte Black size 11 beads
Bronze size 11 beads
9 6 mm faceted accent beads
3/8th inch shank style button
silamide
size 12 needle
size 13 needle
Start with a length of thread you are comfortable working with and the size 12 needle. String on a stop bead,
String on 16 black beads and turn to work second row, add 2 more black beads and string through the 4th bead from the needle towards the needle,come out of the other side of that single bead and string through the last bead added, continue working the pattern according to the graph.

When you are through with the square stitched rectangle, switch needles to the size 13 needle and go through all the rows to reinforce, end off thread, weave in loose ends.

Next we do the triangle end pieces. Like I said, I wasn’t comfortable in brick stitch, but most of what made me uncomfortable was the ladders used as a base, so time consuming, Pamela Welborn taught me this method of a peyote start that works really fast and since then I’ve used it. It helps.
String 3 beads on your needle, run your needle through the first bead,and tie in a knot, then work in a zigzag fashion until you have the first 2 rows of the triangle done according to the graph.
