Spiral Rope Stitch Tutorial

The Spiral Rope Stitch or Dutch Stitch is one of the most versatile stitches. It’s looks difficult but actually it’s easy to learn. You can create one into a bracelet, necklace, anklet, earring and a ring with or without embellishment. And because it works up into a strong piece as you weave along, you can even use it as bag strap. (That would require lots of seed beads I guess. Challenging, too!) What’s also great about spiral rope stitch is that it only requires one size of beads, but your choice of color is endless.
