    Quick Project Steps

    Begin by stringing a sequence of SuperDuo (or Twin Bead), 11/0 seed bead, repeating this pattern six times on your thread.
    Form a circle by passing the needle back through all the beads, creating a base for the tubular knit pattern.
    Start building the pattern by adding a SuperDuo and 11/0 seed bead, passing through the existing beads in a specific order to create the tubular effect.
    Continue adding beads in the sequence, paying attention to the order to maintain the pattern. Once the desired length is reached, prepare to add the clasp by integrating cup buttons and creating a toggle using 11/0 seed beads.
    Finish the bracelet by securing the clasp and trimming any excess thread.
