July is synonymous with warmth and beautiful days. We want to enjoy the good weather and travel. So why not consider a holiday in road trip mode in a van? It is with this desire to travel that Meggy'Z presents you its tutorial to make a nice Van with Miyuki 11/0 beads.
Decline this weaving in pins, jewels or even a fridge magnet to add to your collection.
This weaving is made with the brick stitck technique but can also be woven in peyote. We let you choose your favorite weaving technique.
For beginners, the best thing is to master the notions of increase and decrease in brick stitch before starting. Some points are detailed in the tutorial with the help of pictures. It's up to you!
Size: 5.5 cm high and 4.8 cm wide
The Van grid can be woven with all the colours of Miyuki 11/0 beads available on Perles&Co, so let your imagination run wild.
And you, tell us where you would like to go on a road trip with your Van? Meggy'Z went to the Spanish coast.

Start weaving at the red arrow.
Arrived at the end of the first row weave the 3 small beads of the end (red frame) : first add the first 2 beads in brickstitch normally decreasing, then add a bead and return in the first bead of the row, the thread will be automatically at the beginning of the row to start the second row.
Here is the result of the weaving in step 1: the first 3 rows are woven.
Here is the result of the weaving of step 2. A good part of it is woven, we'll start weaving the 2nd wheel.

This is the result of the row of the second wheel. Continue weaving like the grid, alternating increases and decreases until you reach the mirror.
All you have to do is weave the mirror. Start with an increase, then decrease and decrease.
The first part is woven. All that is left to do is to weave the other side. To start the other side, you can either use the leftover yarn, add a new yarn or continue with the same yarn.
This is the result, only the mirror to weave. If you have woven this part with the remaining thread, the thread will be on the other side of the mirror as on the picture. To reach the mirror, weave the thread up to the first black bead, then continue with reduction, increase and reduction.
