Netting stitch is featured in this week’s jewelry video from Andrea Mazzenga.

Andrea delivers a project that offers a beautiful finished piece and a really versatile and delicate technique called the netting stitch.
Netting Stitch Bead Weaving
It is an intermediate project so it is good to have a few bead weaving projects under your belt first but I am sure you will pick this up in no time.
For this project you will use pearls and glass pearls work nicely for this piece. You will also use size 15 and 11 seed beads. However, as Andrea mentions, you can change the size or use delicas also to give it a different sort of look.
You can also play with colors or make it more monochromatic and give it a more vintage lacey look. Andrea talks about the importance of tension so your netting stitch does not appear to be “spongy” but more taught and supple.
Netting Stitch Reinforcement
Reinforcing your netting stitch work will also give it more stability. I love how Andrea ends this project with a crystal bead and silver end caps. The details add to the delicate look of this bracelet and can be worn for a special occasion or just get all dressed up. What lovely gift this would make also for a bride or bridesmaids.
