    Start without a stop bead, holding the end of your thread.
    String one 11/0 seed bead, followed by two SuperDuo beads, repeating until you have ten SuperDuos, all separated by 11/0 seed beads.
    Tie the ends in a square knot, leaving a small tail for finishing later.
    Transition to the top hole of the SuperDuo bead to start the next part of the pattern.

    Nice selection. Disappointed that some basic seed beads have been out of stock for a long while and the clasps that I need are no longer in stock.
