How to Make Leaves using St. Petersburg Stitch
From Jennifer VanBenschoten, former About.com Guide
To add the next stitch, pick up 4 size 11 seed beads. Pass needle and thread back through the first two beads picked up and pull snugly so that the two pairs of beads line up next to each other. Add two size 15 seed beads as you did in Steps 4 and 5.
