Step 1: Thread approximately 1 m of Sono thread onto your beading needle and string on 4 Czech beads and tie into a circle. Pass needle through the first 3 beads. |

|
Step 2: Pick up 3 beads and sew back through the last bead of the previous circle and the next 2 beads. |
| |
| |

 |
| |
 |
|
Step 3: Pick up 3 beads and sew back through the last bead of the previous circle and then sew through the first 2 new beads. Continue adding 3 beads for each stitch until your first row measures 16 cm. YOU ARE SEWING CIRCLES IN A FIGURE 8 PATTERN AND ALTERING DIRECTION WITH EACH STITCH. |

| |
|
| |
 |
|
Step 4: To begin row 2, sew through the last 3 beads of the last stitch on row 1 exiting the bead at the edge of one long side. |
| |
|
| |
 |
|
Step 5: Pick up 3 beads and sew back through the bead you exited (the first "top" bead of row 1) and the first new bead. YOU WILL BE SEWING IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION. DO NOT SEW STRAIGHT LINES BETWEEN STITCHES. |
| |
|
| |
 |
|
Step 6: Pick up 2 beads and sew through the next top bead of the row below and the last bead of the previous stitch. Continue through the 2 new beads and the next top bead of the row below, SEWING COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. |
| |
|
| |
 |
|
Step 7: SEWING CLOCKWISE pick up 2 beads and go through the side bead of the previous stitch, the top bead on the row below that you exited and the first new bead. Continue moving in a figure 8 and pick up 2 beads for the rest of row until it measures 16 cm. Repeat Row 2 for rows 3 and 4. |
