Triangle Weave, page 1

Subsequent Units are either right- or left-handed:

For the starting unit,

string 3 beads, pass

other thread back

through first bead.

Notice that threads

emerge either on the

left or right side of

the triangle, not

through the point.

For convenience,

envision the triangle

rotated 90 degrees and

consider the ÑbaseÒ to

be on the vertical side.

In subsequent units,

the base will thus be

the first bead strung

or passed through. The

threads will emerge

from the uppermost

side of the triangle.

RIGHT THREAD DOES THE WORK:

¤Right thread strings 2 beads OR (if adding a

row alongside another) passes through 1

adjacent bead & strings 1

¤Left thread passes back through last bead

Alternate right and

left units to create a

vertical row

LEFT THREAD DOES THE WORK:

¤Left thread strings 2 beads OR (if adding a

row alongside another) passes through 1

adjacent bead & strings 1

A sequence of identical

units forms a curve

Seed Beads at the Points (Vertices)

For the starting unit , string 6 beads: Seed Bead (SB), Bead, SB, Bead, SB, Bead. The other thread end

passes back through last bead. Center the triangle in the middle of thread. For subsequent units :

1. String a Seed Bead

on each thread

2. String Bead, SB, Bead. Other

thread passes back though last bead

RIGHT THREAD DOES THE WORK (Right-handed weave):

¤String 1 Seed Bead (SB) on each thread

¤Right thread strings Bead, SB, Bead OR passes through Bead, strings SB, Bead

¤Left thread passes back through last Bead

¤ Notice how the seed beads function simply as thread covers or joints

between the larger beads, and are not passed through again.

LEFT THREAD DOES THE WORK (Left-handed weave):

¤String 1 Seed Bead (SB) on each thread

¤Left thread strings Bead, SB, Bead OR passes through Bead, strings SB, Bead

¤Right thread passes back thru last Bead

Single Needle

For the starting unit, string 3 beads, pass through first

2 beads again. Notice that the thread emerges from a

bead on either on the left or right side of the triangle,

not through the point.

For convenience, envision the triangle rotated 90 degrees and

consider the ÑbaseÒ to be on the side. At the end of any unit,

the thread will emerge from the bead on the uppermost side of

the triangle.

Subsequent units are worked either clockwise or

counterclockwise. String 2 beads (or, if adding a row

alongside another, pass through 1 & string 1), then pass

needle around through beads until it emerges from the

bead on the top side of the triangle.

Note that unlike the two-thread method, where the

choice for making a subsequent unit is either a left-

handed or a right-handed weave, when using a single

needle there are 4 possible choices.

Note also that when stringing seed beads at the triangle

points, when using a single needle some of the seed

beads will also have to be passed through again.
