Some patterns may end on a knit row,
requiring you to bind off on a purl row.
Although it is possible, binding off on a
purl row tends to make the stitches tight.
A better solution is to knit an extra row
without beads so that you can bind off
on a knit row.

Design Variation
Both bracelets are made with the
same pattern but with different size
beads and slight variations. The
bracelet on the left is made using size
11 beads instead of size 8 and with a
different color scheme. I also doubled
each row and worked additional
repeats. You can create many variations simply by changing colors, bead
size, or the style of the findings.
