Odd herringbone bracelet with Miyuki Half Tila beads

How to make a chevron half tila bracelet?

After our first half tila 2 chevron bracelet tutorial, we're continuing our chevron tutorial series with a brand new tutorial by our partner designer Mariette! This time, the chevron pattern is presented in an asymmetrical version, with one and a half chevrons. Learn how to make a bracelet with an odd herringbone pattern.

Woven with Half Tila beads, this bracelet features irregular graphic lines, yet retains the elegance of a structured pattern. Whether you're a DIY jewelry enthusiast or simply curious to try a new technique, this step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the creation of your very own bracelet. Once you've mastered the pattern, have fun varying the color combinations to create unique pieces that perfectly match your style. You'll find a wide selection of Half Tila beads on our site to give free rein to your creativity.

This tutorial can be made with classic Fireline 0.12 thread or Elonga 0.30mm elastic thread. If you choose the elastic version, here are Mariette's recommendations:

- you don't need to measure your hand before weaving the bracelet, as it will be elastic. Measure the length to be woven by taking the length directly on your arm at the height where you want to wear it
- use a needle with a large eye
- take enough length to weave the whole bracelet and to make the surgeon's knot at the end
- tighten the elastic thread evenly with each row, otherwise the bracelet may wobble
- practice making the surgeon's knot in advance - don't pull too hard on both strands once the knot is made (risk of breaking the elastic).

If you choose to weave your bracelet with Fireline thread, you can use a size 10 Tulip needle. To close the bracelet, you won't need to make a knot. You can simply zigzag the thread through a dozen or so beads.
