The wonders of Right Angle Weave (RAW)

My first stitch learned was the even count Peyote
stitch but since I found the Right Angle Weave also know for short as RAW – no
it’s not the wrestling program – I have had so much more fun and creative juices
flowing since.

About Right Angle
Weave:
Right Angle Weave is actually not so much of a weave but more
of a stitch type that forms bead groups into a netting and the netting type
would depend a lot on the number of beads used for each bead group – sounds
mathematical or even scientific – but not to worry it’s fairly easy to pick up
and for my personal opinion easier than the Peyote and Brick
stitches.

Beaders out there uses two different type of
approach towards Right Angle Weave, the single thread / needle method or the
double thread / needle method.

This site shows both methods for you to compare
which is easier for you to pick up: http://www.beadjewelrymaking.com/Arts_and_Craft_Idea/right_angle_weave_instruction.html
