Herringbone Zigzag?

Nov 20, 2008 4 Replies

How do you make herringbone zigzag? Anyone know? I saw this pattern and may have to sit down and see if I can figure out how to do it:

I guess if all else fails, I'll have to buy the pattern. This really fasinates me.


Jerri,

It looks like ndebele (herringbone) done with two sizes of beads. Not sure how to work the increase/decrease to get the zig-zag pattern, but I bet if you use herringbone pattern paper, you could graph it out.

It is two sizes of beads, but I think the seed beads are doubled so the length is the same.

I just learned how to increase and decrease with herringbone, so this just has me curious. I'm going to have to sit down and try it, since my brain can't seem to figure it out on it's own.

Jerri, Here is a link on instructions if you need them. I think it's the right one

Thanks, Debbie!

It may be right, but I may not be doing it right. Lol.

I'll have to try again.
