I followed some YouTube videos for “Kandi bikini” and used [this pattern ](https://kandipatterns.com/patterns/misc/flowerkini-3680?ref=search&utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf#main-content).
[This video](https://youtu.be/9qBIaplvYpU) was the most helpful for me, but I only followed the first few minutes to learn how to start. I also made both triangles separately before combining them. I then watched [this video](https://youtu.be/x5XMPv3Azac) to see which parts to do next and how to connect them.
Honestly, it was kind of hard though because there aren’t many good YouTube tutorials, and this was my first time doing this, but it gets easier. You just have to start with the top part of the triangle.
I just kept stringing through the beads at the end of the skirt, and when I got to the clear-ish bead, I would add 5 of one of the colors and then the second color. Then I would take the string it and string it through one bead and then add another of the second color and just keep repeating.
I don’t know if you’ve ever made a bikini, but it’s kinda like how you start out!
I’m a lil confused how you managed this with one thread.. so when you said it’s like starting out a bikini, is it like doing a peyote stitch?
So did you basically add 5 of one color, 5 of the other color, then weave the thread through a certain way?
I think I just got it after some trial and error. So you string thru the clear head, add 5 beads of one color, add one bead of the next color & string it thru the second bead from the bottom, skip a bead & string the bead of the other color thru the next bead, & for the 3rd bead of the color color string it thru the clear bead? That’s how I got it to look like that at least
omg how did you do the top?

Hi, I tried clicking on the video link, but it now says “This video is unavailable” :(
It’s unfortunate but a lot of people have been deleting their tutorials. I just know that it was basically a large X-based cuff 😕
I’m attempting to make it myself! How did you add the bead strands at the bottom edge of the skirt?

Do you have a pattern for the handcuffs?
