This arched hem has longer outer strands and shorter central strands. Try a pointed hem in the studio to see how the same color bands change.
How to read the pattern
Start the brick stitch top at its narrow two-bead row. The word chart alternates left-to-right and right-to-left travel. A run such as 3(A) means three beads in color A. Fringe strands are numbered from left to right and read from the top down; return through all but the final stop bead. Make the second earring from the same chart.
Symmetry reflects the motif across each earring. Both earrings repeat the same chart; the exporter does not create a separate reversed chart for the second earring.
You will also need beading thread, a size 10–12 beading needle and two ear wires. These patterns assume you know brick stitch and fringe. Designs have not been stitch-tested; check a sample before committing to a finished pair.
