Crafts made from beads using different weaving techniques (diagrams and videos)

Crafts made from beads using different weaving techniques (diagrams and videos)

Beads have become very firmly in the circle of interests of needlewomen. These are not just small pieces of plastic; they can be used to make many different products. Toys, napkins, jewelry, these are the few things that can be made from beads. It all depends on the colors, sizes and imagination that the master will show. Photos of beaded figurines are present in the album of achievements of every true needlewoman. Beadwork takes on the most bizarre forms, creating the most unexpected and beautiful things.

Beading methods

There are many different ways to connect beads together. Patterns and lessons of weaving very often look very confusing in the photo. There are often cases when figures with different execution techniques can look very similar. This happens because the beads can only be positioned in the direction of movement of the base. In the finished product, it is not always visible how the bead was positioned during the weaving process until the moment of tightening and suturing. When creating crafts, wire is often used. For beads, it should be so thin that it can go inside the bead at least 2-3 times.
The most striking weaving methods are:

• parallel;
• brick;
• cross;
• weaving;
• French.

Pegasus made of beads in mosaic and brick weaving techniques. Embroidery and knitting with beads are also popular. You can also create beaded crafts from embroidered and knitted parts. Patterns for such crafts look similar to patterns for embroidery and knitting, and only then does the formation of a three-dimensional figure begin. In embroidery and knitting, wire for beads is not used; fixation occurs with monofilament or regular thread, and the strength of the product is given by the base of the craft. Lessons usually describe one foundation option. Each weave is step-by-step; small steps, repeated, create a row. Videos of creating figurines usually seem quite complicated, but it’s enough to master the basic techniques and try to weave a bead craft yourself. The subtleties of work are different for each material, it all depends on the skills and raw materials.
Those who want to create beaded crafts with their own hands should study and try several different techniques. Then the master will be able to freely change the weaving technique right during work, depending on changes in the structure of the product, pattern, size of the product itself or the beads used.

Parallel weaving

It looks the easiest, but requires very careful attention. There are several ways to do this weaving. A true craftsman can make any pattern in several ways, depending on the materials used.


Animal figurines made of beads using the parallel weaving technique. If a wire is used that can hold a circle or row of beads, the central part of the rows need not be connected to each other. Even on an enlarged photo, the gaps will not be noticeable. Figures made of beads and wire are strong and relatively heavy and require attention when creating. But even a novice master is able to show a high class with them, because the tension of the wire cannot spoil the row.
Although it is often convenient to use parallel weaving to create flat figures, it can also be used to make three-dimensional figures from beads. There are 2 main methods of parallel weaving:

• weaving a whole row at once;
• weaving each bead separately.

The first method is carried out by stringing beads step by step according to the diagram, after which each row is attached to the previous one. In the second case, each bead is attached to a similar bead of the previous row. Using this technique, three-dimensional toys are created from beads. With additional fastening, the master gives the toys the necessary strength. Beading wire is ideal for the first case and not suitable for the second.

Master class on weaving fish according to the pattern

Fishes are the easiest bead crafts to make. For beginners, there is nothing difficult in this weaving. You can use a diagram, or you can weave simply by looking at the photo of the fish itself. Only long rows on fishing line and monofilament require additional fixation when creating the row. The bead wire should bend well and not be too noticeable against the selected background of the fish. Many schools begin beading lessons with fish.

Our master class is based on a pattern for weaving a perch fish.

Scheme for weaving a dwarf perch from beads We collect 2 beads on a base - wire or fishing line. We collect beads step by step, stringing them on a thread, according to the diagram. Next, place 2 needles on both sides of the beads. In the next row we put on 1 background bead, 1 darker one for the eye and 2 background beads. We pass both edges of the base along a row of beads in opposite directions. We increase the number of beads by 2 more every 2 rows. In rows we form an eye from darker beads. Then we string 10 rows of beads in the background color. After this, we begin to reduce the number of beads - for the tail. If you look at photos or videos of various fish, you can see that fish come in a wide variety. The more rows you weave, the longer the tail will be. The sooner you remove the beads, the more abruptly the body of the fish will close. Having reached a row of 3 beads, you need to again gain width for the tail.
To weave fins, at the end of the row, string 3-4 beads onto one side and sew them to the bead 3 rows below. Return back in the same way through an arc of 4-5 beads.
The last row is put on 2 edges of the base in both directions. After which one edge is threaded into the penultimate row. Both edges are tied and the knot is hidden between the beads. Such fish can be made in different colors and in a wide variety of combinations; in the photo they can easily pass for life. If you create very thin and slightly curved fins, the fish give the impression of a frozen image from a video.
We invite you to study two more patterns for weaving funny fish from beads:


Sailfish

Clown Fish Beaded toys are unique and interesting. Videos of making toys are not difficult to find; it is much more difficult to show patience and class and understand the technique itself. This allows you to create works from beads that are not exactly the same as in the diagram, but also by showing your own imagination.

Weaving a volumetric giraffe from beads

Bright animals evoke a lot of impressions, which is why videos with them are so popular. Fans of brick weaving will love our master class on creating interesting crafts made of beads in the shape of a colorful giraffe.
To weave a voluminous giraffe from beads, we will use the brick stitch technique in the circle. Pay attention to the accompanying diagrams and description of the step-by-step weaving technique in the photo material.







Wire for beads will not work here - there are too many bends and loops, any wire will simply burst. The first circle is formed starting with two beads. The two ends of the base are threaded into one bead from different sides. After creating the required length of the row, both ends are threaded into the first bead. Next, the creation takes place step by step by weaving beads. We put on the bead, attach the thread under the previous row and again pass the thread through the bead up. The color combination should replicate natural spots. Beads of two colors - yellow and orange - create such marks.
It is recommended to start creating this bead work from the torso. High class - weaving a figurine in any direction, but it is better to make a body and, depending on the resulting size, determine the required thickness of the neck and legs.
After casting the first circle, we form a cylinder, repeating the same number of beads for several rows. Then, step by step, we form the giraffe’s waist, if we want. 1-2 beads per row for small beads and 1 bead per 3-4 rows for large beads. After obtaining the desired waist - 2 rows of a sharp increase in volume by 3-4 beads - we form the back part.


If this beaded craft will not just stand on a shelf, it is better to weave the tail separately and sew it on. It may have to be re-sewn, especially if they play with the giraffe. When the desired expansion is achieved, the torso must be closed. It should be closed in a rounded manner at the back, more sharply at the front.
At the back we reduce the number of beads by a third each row until we close the hole. We fill the body so that it holds its shape. In front we reduce by half on each row.
The thickness of the legs is from 4 to 10 beads, depending on the size of the body and beads. We sew together simple cylinders without covering them. We string the edge of the cylinder with black beads. We fill the finished legs with stuffing and sew them to the body with monofilament.
To form the head, we cast an initial circle 2.5-3 times larger than the thickness of the leg. We weave 3-4 rows of maximum width. We form horns on the upper part: string 3 yellow and 1 orange beads, then return the thread to the yellow beads and back to the head weaving circle. We close the head by reducing the number of beads by a third in each row. The front part sharply decreases by 2.5 times over 2-3 rows and then 7-8 rows are woven without change. The filler is placed inside. The head is covered with darker beads in 2-3 rows. If you make not 7-8, but 2-3 rows and then divide the circle of beads into 2 separate circles - you get an open mouth, then 2 large white beads - teeth or a piece of red material - tongue should be sewn inside.

The ears are woven separately, in a flat parallel weave, and then sewn to the head. The eyes can be woven directly along the body, with colored beads in a giraffe pattern, or they can be sewn on the outside of a finished figurine. Dark beaded eyes on sequins look very impressive.
The neck is certainly long, but you should take into account the length and heaviness of the body so that the finished figurine does not fall forward. The width of the neck is from 5 beads near the head to 10-15 at the body. The length of the neck depends on the length of the legs and the size of the torso, try to adhere to real proportions.
The 3D tutorials emphasize pulling each loop and stitch tightly. The use of wire is only possible between stitches as a support rod. For the same purpose, you can use the beads themselves, as well as the stuffing. By stuffing the figurine tightly, you ensure its stability.
Studying and practicing various beading techniques makes it possible to create a variety of beautiful bead and wire products.

Weaving all kinds of animals is a very popular hobby. The resulting crafts look very attractive, cute, and interesting. They can look very realistic, causing admiration from others. This new craft is ideal for involving a child or teenager in creativity. How to make animals from beads? Weaving figures is very easy, especially when you have visual master classes and video lessons before your eyes. Flat, voluminous products can become toys for small children, keychains, an original gift, souvenir.

Step-by-step instructions and patterns for weaving three-dimensional animals from beads

Beading is a useful activity for children, which involves them in the bright world of creativity, develops imagination, fine motor skills, and trains patience and perseverance. Even adults enjoy painstaking work with small beads. Below you will find many step by step instructions, video to make three-dimensional and flat animals from beads. Bright butterflies, turtles, crocodiles, monkeys, cats, frogs, owls can become an original decoration for a schoolchild’s workplace, a charming pendant for a phone or a backpack.

How to weave a “Dolphin” figurine

Volumetric weaving with beads allows you to create original, funny animal figures. A dolphin can become an interior decoration, a toy for a child, a gift for any occasion, a keychain for a backpack, bag, or keys. It is better to use a fishing line that tightens tightly without breaking. But you can also use wire, which is much easier for beginners to work with. You will need fishing line, thin wire for fins, scissors, a diagram, three colors of beads: black, bright blue, light blue.

Step by step instructions:

• Place the beads into a tray for ease of use. Place the diagram in front of your eyes. Cut off a large piece of fishing line. We begin to weave from the nose according to the pattern. Each layer in it will be done by repeating it twice to make the product voluminous. We collect one bead for the belly of the animal, one for the upper part.
• Repeat the first layer in reverse order. We thread the second end of the fishing line into the resulting two beads and stretch it to the end. The entire figure will be woven using this method.

• We continue to put on two at a time, according to the diagram. We thread the second tip through the beads and tighten.
• We continue to work according to the scheme until the tail.

• To make the tail of the animal, we put 6 blue ones on one end of the fishing line. To turn, we string two more and insert the fishing line into the penultimate one. Pull it towards the body. We string six blue ones again. To finish, we thread the fishing line into the layer where the tail began. We also do the second part.
• We make fins according to the pattern. Take a small piece of wire. We string it from the end of the fin, weaving it the same way as the body.

• We attach the fins to the dolphin.

How to weave a “Turtle” from beads and fishing line

The next thing you will learn is turtle weaving. This cute figurine is very easy to make. For it you will need fishing line, black, olive, bright green, transparent white beads. Creating an animal will begin with the tail. Cut 1 meter of fishing line and begin:

• We string one light bead, then two more, and thread the fishing line.
• We move on to the next row: string three light ones, thread the fishing line, tighten.

• We continue to weave the entire body of the animal according to the pattern, and at the end we make a knot.
• According to the diagram, we weave the legs and attach them to the body: two near the head, two more near the tail.

Weaving "Crocodile" from beads

The tutorial below will help you weave a green crocodile. To create, you will need several colors of beads: yellow or light green for the tummy, dark green for the back, black and white for the eyes. Cut 30 cm of wire to make the lower jaw, 180 cm for the body of the animal. Step-by-step instruction:

• We take a long wire and start weaving from the tail. We collect three green ones, three light green ones, thread them through the last ends of the wire, and tighten them.
• We continue to weave so that the green layer is above the light green one. We string three rows of three beads.

• We weave to a row consisting of 9 beads. We string 10 green ones and thread the end through. Let's move on to the paws: put 7 beads on the free ends, skip the outer 3, thread them through the remaining 4. When the paws are completed, string the bottom light green layer of 10 beads.
• We make 5 rows up to 10. On the last layer we weave the paws. Finishing the row of 8, we insert the wire for the lower jaw into the bottom one.

• We finish the upper and lower parts of the jaws. We secure the ends, the crocodile is ready.

How to make a three-dimensional “Monkey”

The next animal you will learn to make from beads is a monkey. Small, funny, it will be a great gift for a child or friend. Volumetric diagram animal involves the use of parallel weaving, as in all previous master classes. To make it, prepare a dark color of beads that imitates wool, a light color for the ears, eyebrows, muzzle, and a larger bead for the nose. Cut the wire 90 cm long and start making the animal:

• We string the first row, which includes 7 beads. We stretch the ends of the wire, forming a ring. This is the future lip.
• The next row includes three beads.

• We weave that part of the muzzle where the nose will be located. We string it so that there is a large bead in the center.
• The bottom row includes 7 beads, the top row includes the eyes.

• On the next row we weave the animal's ears.
• We weave the body, inserting additional wire in the places where the animal’s future legs will be.

• After completing the body of the animal, we weave the legs in 9 paired rows of 4 beads each.
• We make the foot flat: the first row is 2 beads, the second row is 3, the third row is 4.

• We intertwine the fingers, the animal is ready.

Making a figurine in the form of a “Frog” from beads and wire

The next lesson is about creating a funny frog. To work you will need black, green, red, yellow beads. It is based on parallel weaving, which gives a three-dimensional animal. If desired, you can attach a wire fly to the top of the frog at the end. Step-by-step instructions for the animal:

• We start weaving from the tail, stringing two beads, sending them to the middle of the wire, crossing the ends on the second bead.
• On each end we put 4 green ones, on the second piece of wire we string 6 green, 9 yellow, 6 green.

• We connect as shown in the photo. We cross the ends in three beads.
• We make the next row, weaving 9 green ones in parallel.

• We made the back, turn the product over to our side. Making a foot: cast on 14 green, 1 yellow, pass the end through the last 3 green. This will give you the first finger. So we do the second and third.
• We return the end through the entire leg and 3 green ones on the belly.

• We make a paw on the other side.

• We weave the belly.
• We form 5 layers, weave the tongue with red.

Its weaving pattern:

Flat figure of a giraffe

Giraffe made of beads and wire

Required: small or medium beads - 1 pink, 2 dark and 3 light, 4 large red beads, beads - round (7 mm in diameter) and oblong (15 mm in length), 45 cm of wire.

String a pink bead, push it to the middle of the wire and fold the wire in half. Thread a round bead onto both ends of the wire and move it towards the bead.

String a dark bead onto one end of the wire and place it at a distance of 3 mm from the bead. Fold the wire with the bead and twist it - this is the eye. String a light bead onto the same end and place it 7 mm from the bead, twist the flagellum - this is the horn (Fig. 1, a). Make the same eye and horn on the other end of the wire. Make ears: twist both ends of the wire into a bundle 4 cm long. Fold the bundle into a bow and place the end of the bundle on top of its beginning, lowering the ends on opposite sides (Fig. 1, b, a thick line shows a bundle of two wires).

Twist the wires, making a neck 3.5 cm long. String a large red bead onto one end of the wire and make a leg 15 mm long (Fig. 1, c). Make a second leg at the other end.

String an oblong body bead onto both ends. Perform the 2 back legs the same way as the front legs.

All that remains is to make the tail. Thread a small blue bead onto one end of the wire. Fold this end into a loop 3-4 mm long, attach the other end and twist them together (Fig. 1, d). Cut off the excess wire.

Beading is a real art, and some of the products can easily be called masterpieces. Making beautiful things from beads is easy, you just need to master the basic techniques. However, beginners must not only have patience, but also show perseverance. Any person who decides to learn how to weave with beads will not be disappointed in the end.

First you need to familiarize yourself with the basic weaving techniques and choose the most convenient one. In addition, you should find large beads that will be easier to work with. Beginners should not immediately take on voluminous things, as they require not only significant time investment, but also certain skills. In many ways, the type of finished product depends on the quality of the material used. If, while working on beads, inclusions of foreign particles or unevenness on the wire are found, such material must be replaced.

To weave quality beads, beginners need to pay attention to several recommendations:

Mosaic technique

For many beginning needlewomen, this technique turns out to be the simplest. However, even experienced craftsmen can make mistakes, and that's normal. To avoid mistakes, you need to carefully study the diagram of a circle made of beads or other products. In accordance with this technique, the beads are arranged in a checkerboard pattern, thereby forming a canvas. You should talk about the principles of mosaic weaving:

• The work is carried out on one thread.
• The number of beads is always a multiple of two.
• If it is necessary to create a fabric from an odd number of beads, then additional passes with a needle must be made through the outer ones.

You should start working on an even-numbered fabric by collecting the required number of beads; as a result, they will make up the first level. Then one bead is cast on, and the thread is passed through the second one from the end of the row. After this, the next level of beads is collected, which is stitched through the fourth level from the end. This process is repeated until all the beads required for the row have been collected.

To complete the level, the thread must pass through the first bead. To set each subsequent row, you need to sew new beads through the last one of the previous level. Before breaking the thread, you need to pass it in a zigzag through the entire fabric.

Brick beading

This type of weaving is somewhat reminiscent of mosaic, but the technique of its implementation has significant differences - it requires more time, and the work is carried out in the opposite direction. Since these two techniques are similar, they can be used to create one product, and the connections will be invisible.

The principle of the brick technique is as follows:

The second row can be expanded - two beads are put on the needle, and the stitch is passed through a thread that unites 2 elements of the first level. You need to bring the thread through the second bead of the new row. The next two are dealt with in the same way. When introducing the sixth bead into a row, the needle should be inserted through the previous one, and exit through the fourth bead of the first two levels.

Starting from the fifth row, the canvas must begin to narrow. To solve the problem, two beads are strung together. In this case, the stitch should pass under the thread connecting the sixth and seventh beads of the fourth row. The needle is returned through the second beads of the new row. After this, the stitch is directed along the weaving path, through the first and second beads of the fifth row.

French way

This technique is very popular: it is best to weave a giraffe from beads or another figurine using it. All products made in accordance with the circular technique look airy and openwork. When using it, the basis of any element of the product is a thick central wire, onto the base of which several beads are placed.

A thinner wire with beads is attached to this structure from the bottom. It is important to remember that both rods are parallel to each other and are connected using one curl. The result is half an arc. On the second side of the central rod there is another wire with beads attached to it from below. If you make several more similar arcs, you will get a leaf.

Please note that the last wire is attached with 2 turns, and its end must be cut off. You also have to cut off the end of the central rod, leaving a margin of 0.5 cm. After this, it is bent into the inside of the product.

Parallel option

It is often chosen by beginning needlewomen, since the use of parallel weaving makes it easy to create three-dimensional products. For example, in this way you can weave an apple from beads. The principle of the technique is as follows:

As a result, the levels are parallel, and the ends of the fishing line or wire come out from each side of the product.

To weave a dachshund or other three-dimensional figure from beads, the rows must be laid one under the other. If the canvas does not require volume, then the levels should simply be placed in the same plane.

Beading as a fascinating hobby unites people of different age categories. An option for joint creativity between an adult and a child can be animal figurines made of beads, made according to simple patterns. To make such a snake, you don’t even need diagrams of various beaded animals. In this master class for beginners, the snake will be green.

Figures made with your own hands and with the help of children's imagination will become exceptionally unique; a purple giraffe, a rainbow snake or a pink sheep can become an original keychain for an adult, a decoration for a girl, or another guest of a children's mini-zoo for a young animal lover.

Beaded snake pattern for beginners

To work for very beginners you will need:

• 50 cm of wire or thick thread;
• green beads;
• 2 large black beads;
• 1 red bead.

It is important that the size of the beads is a comfortable size for children's hands.

We braid the head

We take the wire and string the beads in the following order: green, black, two green, red, two green, black green. We move the beads to the middle of the wire.

We string two green beads onto both free ends of the wire.

Putting everything together, we get the head of a snake.

Making the torso

We put 3 beads on one end of the wire, and 4 beads on the other. Now we pass the wire with 3 beads in the opposite direction through the last bead in the group of 4.

Tighten the wire to make a ring.

In total we will need to make five similar rings. This way we get most of the snake’s body.

Now you need to make 4 more similar smaller rings, consisting of 5 beads each.

And finally we weave 4 more rings of three beads in a similar way.

Movable tail

Let's braid the tail of our snake. To do this, string one bead onto either end of the wire and thread the second end through it in the opposite direction. And so on five times.

All that remains is to secure the wire. To do this, we pass one end of the wire through the last bead in the tail, do the same with the second end, and tighten the wire.

Let's do the same thing again.

To be safe, you can pass the wire in the same way through a few more tail beads.

Carefully cut the ends of the wire, straighten it and give the snake the desired shape. Ready! Now you know how to make a snake from beads.

Cute sheep with diagrams and job description

From simple to complex. To make a voluminous cutie sheep, you will need to follow this diagram:

You will need to weave two such parts.

Let's prepare working materials:

• small sharp scissors;
• stuffing material (cotton wool or padding polyester);
• fishing line;
• 2 large black beads for eyes;
• 2 red beads for the nose;
• 14 beige beads for horns;
• 16 hoof beads;
• white beads for the carcass.

Let's start with the tail

We weave a chain of crosses with 13 beads according to the diagram.

On the 13th bead, we cross the ends of the fishing line and continue weaving a new row.

We continue to weave according to the pattern. Don't forget to change the color to black when it comes to the sheep's hoof and eye. Also note that bead 107 in the diagram is red.

Now you need to braid the sheep piece with a cross, starting with 97 beads. First we braid the breast, then connect the hooves, as shown in the diagram.

When braiding a sheep's head with 107 beads, you should pass the right tip of the fishing line through it and, stringing white and red beads onto the left tip, cross both ends of the fishing line in the red bead.

Braid the other half of the lamb, connecting the single chains together. Don't forget to gradually fill the toy with cotton wool.

At the end of the work, we make horns from yellow beads and weave them to the 99 and 95 beads.

You can make a keychain from such a sheep, or use it in a composition with other bead products.

We weave an African inhabitant from beads

Finally, let's look at how to make a giraffe. We will weave according to this pattern:

To weave a giraffe from beads we will need:

• yellow beads;
• brown beads;
• 28 black beads;
• wire 0.2 mm in diameter - 150 cm and 3 pieces of 40 cm each;
• 70 cm fishing line.

1 row

To make the giraffe voluminous, we will weave it in two tiers.

Let's start with the head. We collect 2 yellow beads on the main wire and place them in the middle of the wire.

Now we string 2 yellow beads onto one end of the wire, and pass the other end of the wire through them in the opposite direction.

We tighten the wire.

2nd row

We collect beads in the following order: 1 yellow, 1 black, 1 yellow, 1 black, 1 yellow.

We wrap the wire on top of the previous row. From the side it looks like this:

And this from the back:

In the lower tier there are 2 yellow beads.

3rd row

Upper tier - 3 yellow beads; lower tier - 2 yellow beads.

4 row

Upper tier - 1 yellow, 1 black, 1 yellow, 1 black, 1 yellow; lower tier - 4 yellow beads

5 row

Upper tier - 4 yellow, 1 brown.

Holding the brown bead, pass the same end of the wire through the 2 closest yellow beads.

We tighten the wire.

On the same end of the wire we collect 4 more yellow and 1 brown beads, and pass it through the 2 closest yellow beads in the opposite direction.

We tighten the wire.

We collect 2 yellow beads on the same end.

We pass the other end in the opposite direction through 6 yellow beads and tighten the wire.

Bottom tier - 5 yellow beads.

Side view:

6 row

Upper tier - we collect 7 yellow beads on the wire, after which, holding the last bead, we pass the same end of the wire through the bead closest to it in the opposite direction.

We tighten the wire - we get the tip of the giraffe's ear.

We collect 3 more yellow beads on the same end of the wire, and then pass the same end of the wire through the 6th bead from the tip of the ear in the opposite direction.

We tighten the wire - we get an ear.

On the same end of the wire we collect 11 yellow beads, after which, holding the last bead, we pass the same end of the wire through the bead closest to it in the opposite direction.

We tighten the wire - we get the tip of the second ear of the giraffe.

We string 3 more yellow beads onto the same end of the wire, and then pass the same end of the wire through the 6th bead from the tip of the ear in the opposite direction.

We tighten the wire - the second ear is ready.

We collect 1 more yellow bead on the same end of the wire, after which we pass the other end of the main wire in the opposite direction through 7 yellow beads.

We tighten the wire.

Side view:

7 row

Upper tier: string 3 yellow beads onto the wire, then 2 brown beads.

We hold the last brown bead and pass the same end of the wire through the penultimate brown bead in the opposite direction.

We tighten the wire.

We collect 3 more yellow beads on the same end of the wire.

Then we pass the other end of the main wire in the opposite direction through 6 yellow beads. We got the beginning of a giraffe's mane.

Bottom tier - 1 brown, 1 yellow, 1 brown, 1 yellow beads.

8 row

The top tier is woven in the same way as the top tier of the 7th row, with a decrease in the number of yellow beads.

First we string 2 yellow beads, then 2 brown beads; holding the last brown bead, we pass the same end of the wire through the penultimate brown bead in the opposite direction, collect 2 more yellow beads, after which we pass the other end of the main wire in the opposite direction through 4 yellow beads.

Bottom tier - 4 yellow beads.

9 row

We weave the top tier in exactly the same way as the tier of the 8th row.

Bottom tier - 1 yellow, 2 brown, 1 yellow.

10 row

We weave the top tier in the same way as the tier of rows 8 and 9. Bottom tier - 4 yellow beads.

11 row

We weave the upper tier like the previous one, changing the color of the beads: first we collect 1 brown, 1 yellow and 2 brown beads; holding the last brown bead, we pass the same end of the wire through the penultimate brown bead in the opposite direction, pick up 1 more yellow and 1 brown bead, after which we pass the other end of the main wire in the opposite direction through 4 beads (without touching the mane).

Bottom tier - 1 brown, 1 yellow, 1 brown, 1 yellow.

12 row

Both tiers are woven exactly the same as tiers 8 and 10 rows.

13 row

We weave both tiers by analogy with the 9th row.

14 row

Both tiers correspond to tiers 8, 10 and 12 rows.

15 row

It is woven similarly to several previous ones, but the colors change.

Upper tier: 1 yellow, 3 brown beads; holding the last brown bead, we pass the same end of the wire through the penultimate brown bead in the opposite direction, pick up 1 more brown and 1 yellow bead, after which we pass the other end of the main wire in the opposite direction through 4 beads (excluding the mane).

Lower tier: 1 yellow, 1 brown, 2 yellow, 1 brown.

16 row

The top tier is identical to the top tier of the 7th row. Bottom tier: 2 yellow, 2 brown, 2 yellow.

The weaving of the head and neck is completed. View at the current stage:

17 row
