This single-needle diagonal square stitch uses a basic square-stitch technique, but it differs in that you decrease at one end and increase at the other, and then increase again to start the next row. Pay close attention to the direction the thread is worked and you???ll be wearing these earrings in no time at all.
Required Materials: Seed beads, dagger beads, beading thread, ear wires, beeswax (optional). See project for complete list.
