TILA BROCADE BAND

©2019 Deborah Roberti

The Tila Brocade Band is a cross between two of my most popular designs—the Crescent Weave Band and Brocade Bracelets. Use 15/0 and 11/0 rocaille seed beads, SuperDuo beads, MiniDuo beads and Miyuki Tila beads for this intricate-looking but easy stitch-repeat band that wraps around the wrist quite nicely. Stacks of Half and Quarter Tila beads can be substituted for full-sized Tila beads (band at far right) making this a very versatile pattern. Although 6x6mm Czech Tile beads will not work for this design, the 5x5mm Czech Tile Mini beads will work just fine. Detailed step-by-step directions and illustrations from start to finish.

Stitch: Various

Beads Used: Size 15/0 and 11/0 rocaille seed beads, SuperDuo beads, MiniDuo beads and Miyuki 5x5mm two-hole Tila beads (or stacks of Half and Quarter Tila beads).

Approx Finished Size: About 1.25 inches wide to desired length

NOTE: Bead colors and coatings (and even bead types!) seem to be disappearing at a rate that I can no longer keep up with. I try to find substitutes when I can but "discontinued" seems to be the norm these days.
