1. Use Delica beads to square-stitch a strip to fit around your finger (about 2-1/4" long and measuring about 7-12 beads wide). Follow a graphed pattern or just make it up as you go (figure A).

   Use the size 14s to work fringe on top of the Delicas (figure B, top). The color of each fringe is determined by the color of the Delica that it is on top of it.

2. Stitch the ends of the strip together (figure B, bottom) to finish the ring.
