More About Two Hole Herringbone:

This pattern is a great springboard for many other types of two-hole herringbone designs. You may change up where the colors are placed, how many colors are used, and even play around with making a wider variety, which is even more similar to the ones featured in the bracelet tutorial.

In addition, a similar method may be used for other two hole beads, including: SuperDuos, CzechMates Diamonds, Rulla Beads, and the list goes on. Have fun playing around with this beadweaving technique, and feel free to leave a comment below!
