Pattern for the O bead necklace Patroon O bead ketting

I few years ago I made a free pattern for my O bead Necklace.

Unfortunately there were some people having trouble with this necklace. From some people I heard the necklace wrinkled and wasn’t flat. I think the problem is the little differences in the colour coatings of the O beads. Now I made this necklace again using a different threadpath. My necklace was nice and flat so I think I solved the problem.

Here is my new free pattern for the O bead necklace

Een paar jaar gelden heb ik een gratis patroon gemaakt voor mijn O bead ketting. Helaas kwam het voor dat mensen hem niet mooi plat konden maken, hij bleef kreukelig. Ik denk dat het komt dat er kleine verschillen zitten in de dikte van O beads door de verschillende kleur coatings

Ik heb de ketting opnieuw gemaakt waarbij ik anders geregen heb. Ik denk dat hiermee het probleem is opgelost

Ik heb hier weer een gratis patroon van gemaakt dat hier te krijgen is

An old(er) love and a new loveeen oude(re) liefde en een nieuwe liefde

A still love to work with CzechMate Crescent as you can see in the first bracelet, But I think the new Arcos beads designed by Puca are also great to play with. Both are moon shaped beads, but because the holes are placed in a different side of the beads the have totally different apperance in beadwork

Ik vind de CzechMate Crescent nog steeds geweldige kralen om mee te werken, maar ook de nieuwe Arcos kralen ontworpen door Puca zijn erg leuk. Het zijn beide maanvormige kralen, maar omdat de positie van de gaten bij beide kralen ergens anders is is de uitstraling die ze hebben in je kralenwerk totaal andersDesign by Akke Jonkhof Design by Akke Jonkhof Design by Akke Jonkhof Design by Akke Jonkhof Design by Akke Jonkhof Design by Akke Jonkhof

Ik kreeg wat Trinity beads van de Beadsmith om uit te proberen en iets mee te maken. Trinity beads zijn te koop (nog niet in Nederland) in 2 maten. Voor deze ontwerpen gebruikte ik de kleinste maat Trinity beads
