I'm having a problem with step 4. I think my first problem is finding #6 bead. I thought it would be right next to #7 that I exited after adding the #8 seed but it looks very jumbled. If I go all the way around and exit the 6th bead it still looks jumbled. I just can't seem to figure out how to proceed.

I completed steps 1-3 easily, but step 4 has me totally baffled. I followed the instructions exactly (at least as I understand them), but the result looks very awkward, not at all like the pretty result in the photo, and I can't figure out how to proceed to the "next" daisy as instructed.

Hello: I want to thank you for this free pattern for this cute daisy variation bracelet. Actually, I wanted to make an ankle bracelet, but the thread (3 feet) was not enough so, I made a 6 3/4" bracelet. It came out cute, but I did make a couple of boo - boos. Wjhen you first start and do all the little "daisys", they kind of are little tiny and soft so they kept turning and I must of not unraveled it correctly, so then, when I went to add on the 4 seed beads and making the "zig zag" kind of pattern, some of the spots came out a little crooked. But all together, I am happy with outcome. It is a cute little bracelet for the teenager or mom like me who likes fun stuff. Can I send a photo of my bracelet? Please let me know. Thanks for the pattern and have a great summer. Blessings, Adrienne

I highlighted the part I wanted to copy then Control (CTRL) C and put it into a blank Word document using Control X. That worked great... hope it works for you guys.

I made a really cool amulet bag necklace with Daisy Chain and netting about 10 years ago. I can send you a scan if you like. I taught the class at a little shop in Solana Beach, California and it was very popular. Donna Palmer

This book, Beaded Cord, Chains, Straps and Fringe is one of the HUGE BOOKCASE of bead books that I go back to again and again and again. It is totally worth the full price, let alone a bargain like 50% off! And, by the way, I also am in awe of Jean Campbell. I met her at Bead Bash at Lake Tahoe in 2001 right after 9/11. She was helpful, sophisticated, brilliant and gorgeous. So there.

I'm easily confused, and your diagram doesn't label which bead is "sixth"size 11` in the previous daisy added". I get lost in my count and don't see how you get the thread coming out where you do as the count doesn't seem to match the words. Aside from that the stitch looks very pretty and probably would make a nice fabric with additional rows.

I am so in awe of Jean Campbell! I love everything she writes, plus her editing and proofreading (this coming from a compulsive proofreader) are wonderful. I even like her picture--she looks like she's a fun, savvy person. I love this daisy chain variation and will try it out, and I look forward to more tips!
