It's easy to get creative in designs with brick stitch. This simple stitch allows you to build rows that increase and decrease, so you can make all kinds of shapes and patterns. Cynthia came up with a fun diamond shape to showcase at the center of her necklace and switched up the colors of the beads for an eye-catching pattern. The TOHO Treasure beads she used are ideal for this stitch, as they line up nicely and are so consistent. See more inspiration for small brick stitch pieces and even some peyote stitch projects in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
To start the brick stitch, make a ladder stitch following the color pattern as outlined in fig. 1 of the Treasured Totem PDF Diagram. We are starting with the widest point of the diamond focal.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
