About this design

Each stripe in this band rises and dips across the width of the bracelet like a wave, then the next stripe follows the same curve, so the whole band seems to ripple when you turn your wrist. The colours cycle from navy to deep teal, turquoise and pale aqua, getting lighter like water near the shore, and every stripe is separated from the next by a single line of white beads for the foam. On a band only twelve beads wide the curves read as soft zigzags, which keeps the counting simple while still looking fluid.

How to make it

Work the band in even-count peyote with size 11/0 cylinder beads. String the beads for the first two rows from the word chart, then follow it row by row: each new row adds one bead in every other column, which is why the chart columns are offset by half a bead. At 12 columns the band is about 1.6 cm wide, and 104 rows make roughly 17 cm (about 6.6 in) before the clasp; add or remove whole repeats at either end to fit your wrist. A shell or silver-tone clasp suits the beach theme.

Colour plan

Opaque navy does the most work, 21% of the 1,248 beads, followed by Opaque deep teal at 21%. Every colour is used at least 234 times, so there are no tiny one-off details to hunt for. Every square of the grid is filled.

Working notes

Strung and stitched it is 207 worked rows (rows 1 and 2 are picked up together). 130 squares stand alone in their colour, with no same-coloured neighbour along a side.
