Bead List and Key

The pouch portion of the amulet bag depicted in this pattern uses the following size 11/0 Miyuki Delica cylinder beads:

  • About 6 grams of opaque cream AB; I.D. DB0157 (A)
  • About 0.8 grams of silver-lined dark burnt orange; DB0601 (B)
  • About 0.55 grams of white-lined topaz AB; DB1778 (C)
  • About 0.35 grams of opaque chartreuse luster; DB0262 (D)

Look for these colors online at Caravan Beads, or substitute them with similar colors of your choice.

Beading Supplies

As always, you'll need your kit of essential beadweaving supplies. You'll also need size D (or 6-pound) nylon beading thread (such as Nymo) and a size 10 beading needle.
