Horace's Lakota Chain
Horace Goodhue's Indian Bead-Weaving Patterns is absolutely great book for a beader
who wants to learn a new stitch. One thing is, hardness of reading those hand-written
diagrams. (I'm not complaining. The book was published way before pc and DTP stuff.)
However, for a non-native English speaker like me, it takes long to get what I'm doing, as
graphics of this book doesn't give me an instant idea. Followings are something I drew
when I tried Lakota Chain (p. 52 of the book) in order to help my understanding. I thought
this may be helpful to others, too.
Pick up pattern for a
one.
‚P•DPick up 3 beads, and tie
a knot.
2. Pick up 6 beads (No.4 -
9), PT No.2.
This part is different from the
original Goodhue's instruction. It
is easier for me this way.

First of all, I thank Raven Willey of
for sharing the Nepal chain. The
following projects are a combination of this attractive stitch and other well-known
techniques. I also thank Capriccio, whose page offered an excellent pictorial instruction
for the beaded cube. It's an easy, fun to do project and looks quite nice.
fig.1
1. Make as many beaded cubes as you want to attach on a bracelet, referring to
on Maria's site. These beaded cubes make the berries. I attached one
berry (shown by a cluster of red beads) after every two leaves (shown by green
beads in fig.1) on each side of the vine.

2. String 6 brown beads, a clasp or a jump ring, and tie a knot. Go through one bead
on the loop.
3. String 3 brown beads, a cube, 1 brown bead. Skip the brown bead just strung, and
go back through the cube, 3 brown beads, and the bead on the loop you came out
of. (fig.2)
4. Following the
on the Howling Rabbit site, make one leaf.
Then, instead of going through one bead of a leaf as in the normal Nepal chain, go
through one of the beads in the cube in order to secure the flower to the stem and
continue to stitch. (fig.3) Keep adding leaves and berries until the bracelet is the
desired length.
5. Finally, add 6 brown beads and a clasp at the end of a stem. Tie a knot.

Here, I show the way to replace a leaf with a daisy flower. Apply this in your work as you like. In my
, I attached one daisy after every two leaves on each side of vine.
1. After coming out of "stem" part (shown by brown beads in fig.1), make a daisy of daisy chain.
2. Go through a part of "petals" (shown by red beads), and come out from the first bead of the
daisy.
3. Following to
, make one leaf. Instead of going through one bead on a leaf
in normal Napale chain, go through one of bead in the daisy. (fig.2) Keep adding leaves and
flowers.
