Kandi Pattern Studio holds 30 bracelet patterns for pony beads, the 6 x 9 mm barrel beads strung on elastic cord, and builds them four ways. Twelve are wide flat bands and six are narrow ones, both worked in even-count peyote and then zipped end to end into a closed cuff. Eight are tubular cuffs in multi-stitch. The last four are single strands with four alphabet beads in the middle spelling GLOW, VIBE, KIND or PLAY.
The four builds
| Designs | Build | Beads per bracelet | Structure |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01–12 | Wide flat band | 168 | 8 beads across, 42 rows |
| 13–20 | Tubular cuff | 160 | 32-bead ring, then 16 new beads a round to round 10 |
| 21–26 | Narrow flat band | 126 | 6 beads across, 42 rows |
| 27–30 | Letter strand | 24 pony beads + 4 letter beads | 28 positions, colors mirrored around the word |
The motifs on the bands are patterns rather than pictures: confetti on cream, lilac tiles, chevrons, a daisy trail, rolling waves, orchid diamonds, desert peaks, a row of hearts and fern steps. Color counts run from two in 07 Candy Steps to eight in 10 Rainbow Windows. 17 Sunny Hello is the one with a face, a round yellow grin on a navy cuff.
A chart and a recipe for each design
Every design takes two facing pages. The first is the chart, with rows numbered along the length and slots across the width, so you can see where each color falls. The second lists the colors with exact counts and a small optional spare for each, then gives the foundation as one line and every later row in needle order, for example “R03 C C A A”. You string from the recipe and check against the chart. The letter strands are written position by position, 1 to 28, with the four alphabet beads at 13 to 16; the colored letters in those recipes are color codes, not alphabet beads.
Stitch pages and sizing
Four pages before the patterns walk through the methods: starting a flat band from the 8- or 6-bead foundation, building a cuff with the step-up at the end of each round, joining the short ends of a flat band without adding seam beads, and laying out a letter strand. Use elastic cord that fits through each hole several times. The book estimates about 3 yards (2.7 m) for a cuff and 24 in (61 cm) for a single strand, with an 8 in (20 cm) tail to start.
Sizes are given as estimates, not wrist measurements. A flat band comes to about 7.6 in (19.35 cm) around the outside, a tubular cuff about 7.6 in (19.2 cm) along its centerline, and a letter strand about 6.6 in (16.8 cm) if every bead takes 1/4 in of cord. Alphabet beads vary, so the strand page tells you to add or remove matching spacer pairs before knotting. Make a short practice swatch with your own beads and cord before a full cuff.
Color, symbols and PNGs
The Color books show each bead in its color with a letter on it, and the Symbols books print the same positions as letters only, which uses much less ink. US Letter and A4 versions match page for page. The 60 PNGs repeat every chart as a separate image, one set in color and one in symbols. The rounded cuffs in the pictures on this page are digital previews made from the chart data.
Beads, cord and alphabet beads are not included. Keep loose beads away from young children.
