Quick Project Steps

Basic St. Petersburg Stitch:
Start with a stop bead, add 1x11/0 bead.
Add 4x11/0 beads, skip the last two, and go back through the middle two beads.
Add 1x15/0 bead as the tip, go through the three 11/0 beads.
Add 1x8/0 bead, proceed upwards through two 11/0 beads.
Continue the pattern to desired length.
Repeat on the other side to complete the stitch.
Variation Techniques:
Second Variation: Similar to the basic stitch but start the second half from the opposite end to change the visual appearance.
Third Variation: Use only two types of beads, creating a symmetrical look.
