As a child, Kimie visited a neighborhood handicraft shop after school almost every day to enjoy drawing and making something with the shop owners. In 2002, she became a certified instructor of Japanese-style beading skills by having completed the curriculum designed by the Japan Association of Leisure and Cultural Development, which is a foundation authorized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology. She has won several awards and been featured in many beading publications. Currently, she teaches more than 100 students per month.

CzechMates® Diamonds, Color 1 (A)CzechMates® Diamonds, Color 2 (B)TOHO 11° Rounds (C)FireLine Beading Thread

SHOWCASING THE CZECHMATES® DIAMOND™ Create an intriguing pa�ern of CzechMates® Diamonds™ using a truly inventive technique that's similar to tubular herringbone stitch.

INSTRUCTIONS Note: A flat bird's eye view of the rope is shown in Steps 1–6 for illustration clarity.

1. Round 1: Add a stop bead to 3 yd of thread, leaving a 12" tail. Add A, C, C; repeat twice. Pass through the first hole of the first A added and the next C. Skip over the following C and pass through the outside hole of the next A. Orient the beadwork so that you are working counterclockwise.

2. Round 2: Add C, B; pass through the next C. Skip over the following C and pass through the outside hole of the next A.

3. Repeat Step 2.

4. Repeat Step 2 again. Change stitching direction by passing back through the outside hole of the last B added. Snug the thread tight to pull the beadwork into a tube; pulling back on the tail thread will also help hold the work.

5. Round 3: Working clockwise, add C, A; pass through the nearest C in the previous round and the outside hole of the next B. Repeat from the beginning of this step twice. Note: Make sure the third stitch is worked just like the two previous stitches; otherwise, you might accidentally step up for the next round through an incorrect bead. Change stitching direction by passing back through the outside hole of the last A added.

6. Round 4: Working counterclockwise, add C, B; pass through the nearest C in the previousround and the outside hole of the next A in the previous round. Repeat from the beginning of this step twice. Note: As before, make sure you aren't stepping up through an incorrect bead. Change stitching direction by passing back through the outside hole of the last B added.

Repeat Steps 5 and 6 (Rounds 3 and 4) thirty-eight times. In the final round, don't step up through the last B added. Tie off this thread; don't tie off the tail thread.

7. Join: Note: A flat side view of the ends is shown for illustration clarity. Remove the stop bead. Loosen Round 1 and pull on the tail to unweave the thread and remove three C (not shown); exit from an A. Add a needle to the tail thread. Making sure the rope isn't twisted, hold the beadwork so that the ends meet. Pass through the nearest C, B of the final round and the next C, A of Round 1; repeat twice. Repeat the thread path for strength. Tie off.
