Lots of patterns
Was looking for a pattern, or design, book but none were what I wanted. This is PERFECT! all it is is page after page of patterns. No filler with stuff you don’t need.Breaks it down nicely so it shows little lines every 10 rows so you can catch any mistakes you make along the way.Highly recommend this book!

A Excellent Inspirational Bead Pattern Tool and Hereâs Why
I have been heading since 1969. I love this book and here is why.Firstly, I am a loom beader. This is a book of loom patterns. Yes, there are repeat patterns in different colors, but as any experienced bearer knows, sometimes one particular change of color can inspire a different pattern of your own to be created. The different colors give one a perspective of what can be done . I have been able to totally come up with a different look with the same pattern but by using, say, neon beads or lusters, than opaques or the colors called for.Not only that, but bits can be taken from one pattern and joined with others to create something completely new and exciting.I didnât find the patterns antiquated or simplistic as one beader reviewed. I sell at concerts and on line and find that a lot of these patterns are exactly what people are looking for, especially the hippie/bohemian crowd.I am very pleased and intend on using this as an inspiration tool for years to come.

Well done!
Lovely picture book, filled with the kind of pretty things that make your spirit sing when you see them. The author creates one design, then shows it also made up in various other colors and. It is amazing how different two bracelets can look simply by changing the colors. Extremely well done, although 500 is a wee bit of a stretch. It is more like 125 – 150 designs, each done about 4 different colored. Still, it is a remarkable resource and helps open up the “I wonder how this would look if I used ivory and lavender instead of her colors?”. We need that kind of willingness to explore color. It is an excellent book and a worthy addition to any crafter’s bookshelf. Colors, after all, can set gone and mood for bracelets and living room rugs and kitchen cabinets/backsplash. These example help train that sense of color.

Misleading Title, Should be â200ish Bead Weaving Patternsâ
Many of the patterns are lovely but there are not 500 distinct patterns in this book. Most, if not all, are presented 2-3 times in different color combinations.

Nice Collection of Patterns
This book contains a nice collection/variety of patterns. I love that the author sets out the number of beads used both in length & width. I have been able to adapt this to my preferred length, and it will be easy to change the colors if desired. The first pattern I’ve actually made so far is No. 394 (pink flamingos) & I found some errors in the 2nd vertical row from the right. That has made me cautious with the rest of the bracelet, and I will be careful with the other patterns I use as well. If not for that, I’d probably give this 5 stars. This is definitely not a book that teaches how to loom; it is what it says – patterns.

By FAR my fave book for loom patterns!
I bought a loom as a gift along with 4 different bead books and this is by FAR our favorite for more sophisticated designs. We’ve made 6 bracelets so far from this book — cool geometric patterns, an adorable panda bear bracelet for my niece. This is a great source of inspiration. Very clear illustrations and very clear “ingredient” list so you know exactly what you need to make each design. Highly recommend.

Hundreds of Beautiful Patterns for My Weaving Obsession
I’ve enjoyed beading for more than 10 years and have recently discovered the joys of bead weaving on a loom. Projects work up fast and the process of weaving a lovely pattern is so satisfying. I’m excited to get this book. The beginning of the book has just a couple of pages on technique so if you are a newbie wanting to learn the process of weaving on a loom I suggest getting something that is more comprehensive. If you want a book with hundreds of beautiful designs from simple to more complicated, playful and cute to more sophisticated, get this pattern book. This one will keep me busy for a long time. I want to make them all.

Rivoglio i miei soldi indietro (ma ahimè era un kindle)Presa dallâentusiasmo dei braccialetti di perline realizzati col telaio, ho scaricato questo ebook che prometteva ben 500 schemi (o pattern) di bracciali.Innanzitutto in realtà non sono 500 ma al massimo 150: infatti il libro ripropone LO STESSO DISEGNO in 4-5 colori diversi. Ci arrivavo anche da sola che cambiando i colori il risultato era diverso..Ma dei residui 150 originali la maggior parte sono schemi geometrici che poteva disegnare la nipotina di 8 anni (4 rombi affiancati; triangoli di colori alternati; strisce di colori diversi) e gli altri sono talmente grossolani che non si metterebbe nemmeno la suddetta nipotina di 8 anni.A esagerare se ne salveranno 5 o 6.Bellâacquisto.
