Indian Sunrise Bracelet

Fun pattern by 2014 Designer of the Year, Christina Neit, which can be found in BEADWORK Dec 2014 edition

Color way for Indian Sunrise: 6 mm 2 hole Triangles in Rose Gold Topaz,  #11 Bronze Metallic & Opaque Tea Rose, #8 Metallic Dark Raspberry, #15 Aqua O/L, and Iris Gold Super Duos 
15 mm button

Christina Neit's pattern as written calls for 48 2-hole triangles for the bracelet's base. Using 48 triangles gives a finished bracelet base of 6 1/2 inches. With the button clasp the bracelet measures just over 7".  For a wrist over 7" I would recommend increasing the bracelet base to 50+ 2-hole triangles, which will increase the over all bead count.

The superduos are used to finish off the back of the bracelet, which makes for a very clean looking, tightly woven & solid finished bracelet.
