Choose your stitch layout

Each sheet uses 7 × 5.6 mm drawing cells so there is room to colour. These are paper dimensions, not the size of a real bead or a promise about the finished piece.

Use and check your chart

  1. Choose a layout that matches the stitch and orientation of your project. Each rectangle represents one bead on the paper.
  2. Colour or mark the cells and keep a separate key. Follow your own pattern for the start point and direction.
  3. Print at actual size / 100%. Check the 50 mm line on the printed page; fit-to-page settings can change the drawing scale.

The drawing cells are enlarged examples. The printed grid does not predict bracelet or fabric dimensions; bead sizes, tension and stitch technique vary. Measure your actual beads or a worked sample when finished size matters.
