OK, this wasn't very well shot... hopefully this write-up will help...

1. Anchor your thread to the clasp or whatever you're using.
2. Thread on your beads in multiples of 4*.
3. Loop back through the first 2 (reds) and pull tight.
4. Thread on 6 more beads.
5. Loop through the purple and green beads, pull tight. Continue until you reach the desired width.
6. Bring the thread up to the top and thread on 6 more beads.
7. Loop down through the bottom row, then back up and around (purple and dark blue).
8. Thread on 4 more beads and continue to loop through until you reach the end, then turn the work around and start again from step 6.

This technique is great for making large beadweaved nets, be sure to pick beads with holes big enough to pass the needle and thread multiple times.

*Use whatever beads you like, you can even mix sizes as long as each square side is a similar length so that it all comes out even in the end.
