Beads
New design: Flat parallel
flat animals & charms ✿
Tap any bead to give it the colour in hand.
Row numbers run down the left, in the order you make the rows; the red number on the right is how many beads that row takes. A red arrow points at the gap where each part joins. The blue and green lines are the two ends of your thread: both go through every row, in opposite directions, and swap sides from row to row. Parts made with a working end are drawn where they join; parts made on a separate strand are drawn at the side with a lettered × where they join.
Parts
No legs, ears or fins yet. Choose “Parts” above the diagram and tap the bead where one should join.
Rows
The same rows as the diagram, first row at the top. Change how many beads a row has, or move, copy and delete rows here.
Stringing details for when you're ready to make it
For each row, string its beads onto one end, then pass the other end back through the same beads the opposite way and pull snug. A part made with a working end is strung on the end that is on that side: out through its stem, once round its tip, and back through the stem. The diagram doesn't show which end you load first or where the ends finish, so put that in your notes.
