Before you begin ...

Step 1:Color one end of the thread with a black marker to make it easy to follow the pattern.
In the center of your thread place a 6x4mm dark blue rondelle, a squaredelle and another 6x4mm dark blue rondelle (beads 1,2 & 3)
To the black thread add a 3mm dark blue rondelle, a squaredelle and another 3mm dark blue rondelle (beads 4,5 & 6)
To the red thread add a 3mm dark blue rondelle, a squaredelle and another 3mm dark blue rondelle (beads 7,8 & 9)
Cross your threads thru a new 3mm dark blue rondelle (bead 10)
Step 2:To the red thread add a 3mm dark blue rondelle, a squaredelle and another 3mm dark blue rondelle. (beads 11,12 & 13)
To the black thread add a 3mm dark blue rondelle, a squaredelle and another 3mm dark blue rondelle. (beads 14,15 & 16)
Cross your threads thru a 6x4mm dark blue rondelle, a squardelle and another 6x4mm dark blue rondelle. (beads 17,18 & 19)
Step 3:To your red thread add a 6x4mm dark blue rondelle, a squaredelle and another 6x4mm dark blue rondelle (beads 20,21 & 22). Pass the red thread thru the first 3 beads you placed on your thread (beads 1,2 & 3).
To your black thread add a 6x4mm dark blue rondelle, a squaredelle and another 6x4mm dark blue rondelle (beads 20,21 & 22). Pass this black thread thru the first 3 beads you placed on your thread (in reverse order.. 3,2 & 1)
Pull your threads tight and the 6x4mm dark blue rondelles will position themselves under the 3mm dark blue rondelles.
Reinforce around the base of the ring (beads 22,21,20,17,18,19,23,24 & 25 and exit back thru 3,2 & 1)
Step 4:Ring Band
To each thread add 3 silver lined seed beads and then cross your threads thru 4 more silver lined seed beads.
Add one silver lined seed bead to each thread and again cross your threads thru 4 more silver lined seed beads.
Continue adding one silver lined seed bead to each thread and crossing thru 4 more silver lined seed beads until the band will fit around your finger.
When the band reaches the desired length, cross your threads thru the 6x4mm/squaredelle/6x4mm on the opposite side of the ring (beads 17,18 & 19)
Step 5:Embellishment to Ring Band
Take your threads back down the first 3 silver lined seed beads on each side. Add one 11/o dark blue seed bead and pass thru the next single silver lined seed bead. Add another dark blue seed and pass thru the next single silver lined seed bead.
Continue to add dark blue seeds and passing thru the single silver seed beads until you complete the band.
Fasten off your threads and weave your ends into your work.
Your ring is complete... ENJOY
