Here's an alternate start for the cicular Herringbone projects from Deb Moffett-Hall If you have any questions contact me at Beadsme99@aol.com - I'm happy to help. images copyright 2004 all rights reserved String as many beads as needed for first row - usually 4, 6, or 8 beads. Skip the last bead added -yellow- and loop threaded needle around to pass through the next bead -pink- in the same direction again as shown. Draw thread snug to bring yellow and pink bead side by side as shown. Loop threaded needle around to pass through the next bead -green- in the same direction again as shown. Draw thread snug to bring pink and green bead side by side as shown. Loop threaded needle around to pass through the next bead -blue- in the same direction again as shown. Draw thread snug to bring blue and green bead side by side as shown. Tail and working thread exit from blue bead - pass through first bead -yellow- and back through last bead - blue- in a circle to bring the beads together into a ring as shown. You are now ready to add additional herringbone rows as indicated in pattern Top view
