Since each row of brick stitch begins at the opposite end from where the previous one started I have laid out this chart to reflect that fact. In other words, row one starts on the left, row two on the right, row three on the left, etc. Since reading that way is rather difficult (g) I have listed the beads in the order that you will use them. This way you could easily make these earrings from this chart alone. Please let me know how well this arrangement works for you.

Each of the 14 beads in the last row will have a fringe descending from it.
| Fringe | |
| 1st Fringe | 35 red |
| 2nd Fringe | 25 orange, 5 red |
| 3rd Fringe | 15 blue, 5 orange, 5 red |
| 4th Fringe | 1 blue, 3 green, 6 blue, 5 orange, 5 red |
| 5th Fringe | 5 blue, 5 orange, 5 red |
| 6th Fringe | 1 blue, 4 orange, 5 red |
| 7th Fringe | 5 red |
Repeat in reverse order to complete the fringe.
