Desert dusk

A stepped golden sun, two mountain ridges and a narrow reflection make a full sunset landscape.

Use the dark ridgelines to separate the warm sky colours. The scene spans the full panel rather than repeating a small symbol.

Electric trellis

Aqua and hot-pink diagonals cross through a navy field, with cream highlights at the intersections.

Two 20-column repeats make this a useful palette experiment. The crossing lines describe the colour design, not a weaving method.

How to read these charts

Each bead shape is one chart position. Letters such as R, W and K are internal chart symbols, not manufacturer SKUs. Colours are screen approximations; compare your own beads before buying. The table counts one chart, not an entire cuff.

Use the reading direction from your stitch tutorial. Blank chart cells are empty positions; the table counts only the coloured cells.

Repeating a pattern around the cuff

These charts show colour placement in a square grid. A motif can repeat, but the repeat count and joining method depend on your stitch. Make a test strip before choosing a cuff width.

Need the numbers for your own wrist? Use the kandi cuff calculator.

Printing a chart

“Edit or print this chart” opens the design in the free kandi pattern maker, where you can repaint any bead and download it as a PDF with the bead list on the last page.
