Instructions
String all beads on thread first. In the following pattern order. Color 1 through color 6. I used the following colors. Dark Pink, light pink, blue, green, yellow, white.

ROW 1: Ch 12. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Ch4, turn. The chain 4 counts as a ch3 with a chain 1 space in next row.

ROW 2: Sk the very first sc. Sk the next sc. *Dbdc in next sc. Ch1. Sk next sc. Rep from * 3 times more. Dc in last sc. Ch1, turn.

ROW 3: Sc in first dc. *Sc in next ch1 sp. Sc in next dbdc. Rep from * 3 times more. Sc in top of ch 4 sp. Sc in 3rd ch of ch4. Ch4, turn.

ROW 4: Rep ROW 2.

ROW 5: Rep ROW 3.

ROW 6: Rep ROW 2.

ROW 7: Rep ROW 3 but do not ch4, just chain one.

Now you will work around the perimeter of the piece. Treat each dc row as a ch3 space on both sides.

Random Quick Tip!

Remembering Sewing Machine Settings
When working on a sewing project, and you need to remember what settings you had on your sewing machine between sessions, if your project is not done that is, write them down on a small sticky note and stick it to the front of your sewing machine so you will be reminded to set your sewing machine right after you turn it back on. I have to do this with my Brother SQ9285 since it resets itself after I turn it off.
