sq^3re and the right vertical bead of the new square in order to position the thread to bogiń the third square (figurę A-21 b). You will have just exited through the bot-tom of the right vertical bead.

String on three beads and pass down through the right vertical bead of the last square. Go back through the lower horizontal and the right vertical bead of the new square. You will have just exited through the top of the right vertical bead.

Pick up two beads and go back through the upper horizontal bead of the square of the previous row, the left verticaf of the previous square, the upper horizontal and the left vertical of the new square and then through the upper horizontal bead of the previous row (figurę A-24). The four sides of the square are madę up of the two new beads picked up, the upper horizontal bead of the lower square and the left vertical bead of the last square. From now on, pick up three beads for the first square of each row and then pick up only two beads to make each of the following squares of a row.

To make the third square of the second row, string on two beads and pass down through the left vertical bead of the previous square, the upper horizontal bead of the lower square and up through the left vertical bead of the new square (figurę A-25).

Make six morę squares for a total of nine squares. The thread should have exited through the top of the last vertical bead. In order to turn the corner and be in position to begin a new square take the needle through the upper horizontal bead of the last square (figurę A-23). Thread on three beads and pass back through the upper horizontal bead of the last square of the last row and the left vertical bead of the new square.

Continue making squares and starting new rows until you ean go through several of the beads in a square with-out taking the needle out through each bead. Practice until you begin to anticipate the threading path and are able to take these shortcuts.
