Tubular Herringbone Stitch Gradient Blend Beaded Necklace Tutorial #409
We can’t get enough of beaded gradients and blending colors together so that they gradually transition from light to dark and back again. While working on our Blended Bracelet pattern, we were inspired to design this unique coordinating Blended Necklace, which features four colors of 11/0 seed beads blending together to form beaded tube beads, with 4mm cubes interspersed throughout. This thin profile necklace measures approximately 0.5 cm wide and we show you how to finish it off with your choice of end claps (we used a lobster claw clasp and chain extender for an adjustable fit). You can even make this beautiful design into a coordinating bracelet by just making a shorter length. It’s a fast and fun project for beaders of all skill levels, including beginners.
This simple beading pattern includes a detailed materials page, color information, over 60 high-resolution full-color photos and easy to follow step-by-step directions. You’ll quickly and easily have a handmade necklace, featuring an attractive gradient design, in your favorite colors that will perfectly compliment your wardrobe. Thank you for shopping Simple Bead Patterns, and bead happy!

Materials & Quantities Needed
Your purchased beading tutorial will include a detailed materials list of everything you'll need to make this project, including quantities and, in most cases, color information (see more about Bead Color Information below).
Substituting with Different Beads or Beading Materials
Many of our designs can be made using comparable beading materials. For example, if our pattern calls for 4mm round pearls, in most cases, you can use different types of 4mm round beads instead (such as 4mm round fire polished beads). Please note: If the pattern is for a bead weaving (or stitched) project, it's typically not recommended to use different sizes of beads than those recommended, as the original design may not work out as intended. You may also substitute recommended materials with your preferred brand (for example using Nymo vs. FireLine thread) unless otherwise noted for a specific reason. For example, if we specifically recommend using TOHO seed beads with a particular project, the project may not work out as well if you substitute and use Delica seed beads instead (which differ in shape).
Bead Color Information
We provide detailed information about the bead colors used for each of the color samples shown above on the Bead Legend / Color Key (or similarly named page) in your purchased pattern. If the tutorial you purchased does not include detailed color information for a particular color sample we used, we apologize (a few of our earliest patterns did not include this information and we no longer have those beads to reference, or they were discontinued by the manufacturer). If this is the case, please feel free to contact us and we'll do our best to provide you with general color descriptions. Be sure to let us know which particular color sample you're most interested in.
