Step-By-Step Instructions

Prepare Materials: Gather your beads, thread, needle, and clasp. Start with a stop bead to secure your work.
First Row: Begin with a cube, add three seed beads, a 4mm bead, three more seed beads, and another cube. Repeat for the desired length, ensuring you start and end with a cube.
Additional Rows: Use square stitch to add cubes alongside the previous row's last cube. Share 4mm beads between X patterns created with seed beads.
Finishing Rows: Continue adding rows in the pattern until the bracelet reaches the desired width.
Adding the Clasp: Finish the ends with a degressive brick stitch. Attach a lobster clasp using a jump ring for security.
Final Adjustments: Reinforce the clasp area by sewing through the beads multiple times for durability.
