Step Three of the Ladder Stitch for the Emerald Lantern

Next, you're going to pass your needle back down through the third seed bead you added, then through the second bugle bead, and finally the fourth seed bead you added, as shown in the image below. Your needle should be pointing downwards, as shown below. To continue the stitch, keep adding sets of a seed bead, bugle bead and seed bead, then pass the needle through the set you added before this set, then running the needle and thread in he opposite direction through the set you've just added. Be sure to keep the thread tension snug, but not so tight as to make the beads bunch up on each other.
