Brick weaving got its name fromdue to the fact that in appearance it strongly resembles brickwork. It is also similar to mosaic, but unlike the latter, the thread in brick weaving does not pass inside the beads, but is attached to the threads of a previously woven row. That is, each stitch will be made into a loop formed by fishing line between the beads.
Brick weaving with beads is quite fast andallows you to change the width of your product at any stage. It will not be at all difficult for you to make the edge of the product torn, and at the same time everything will look neat. Both the front and back sides of the fabric, which is created using the brick stitch, are absolutely identical. The patterns by which you can weave your products using this technique are quite varied and beautiful.

All that is required in the process, both for theexperienced and novice needle women, it beads, special bead needle and fishing line or monofilament. And of course no one can not do without the selection scheme for their future products.

We put two beads on the needle in turn, and then we string the third bead and lead the needle through the bead that was put on the second, in the direction towards the weaving and through the third bead making a stitch in the direction of the weaving. Now let's put on bead number four and move the needle in the opposite direction to the weaving through the third bead and in the direction through the fourth. Let's repeat the same thing with the fifth bead. After the fifth bead has taken its place, you need to return to the beginning, passing the needle through each bead in turn, counting down.
By creating a second level of brick weaving,Let's look at how it can be expanded. So, we string two beads onto a needle and make a stitch, catching the thread that connects beads number one and two at the very beginning, and then we exit again through the second bead, but this time from the second row. We put bead number three in the second one, and again our stitch passes under the thread connecting the beads, but between the second and third bead. The needle comes out through bead number three in the second row. We do the same with the fourth and fifth. But when you have already collected the sixth bead, the needle should be inserted from top to bottom through bead number five at the beginning, and then from bottom to top through the fourth bead of the first and then the second row. Pass through the fifth and sixth beads of the second level, moving in the direction of the weave.
Using the same method, we expand the canvas at the third level:
And on the fourth:
Starting from the fifth level, we will be our canvasnarrow And if earlier we increased the number of beads, now we will reduce it. We string two beads and make a stitch under the thread that connects beads numbered six and seven in the fourth row, and through the second bead of the fifth row we go back. Now we move the needle according to the direction of weaving at the fifth level through the first and then through the second bead. We stop in the fifth at seven beads.
And then in the subsequent sixth and seventh rows we reduce their number in the same way.

If you use a cylindrical beadsform, the beads will adhere to each other very closely, and you will not have any distortions or gaps. If the extension is necessary to make only one edge and not just one but several beads dopletat then they should be in the same manner as you begin braiding. And if you reduce the canvas, then to the place where, according to your circuit, will start a new stage, and should withdraw the needle.
If you plan to create a large canvas, thenIt will be faster if you weave the main part using a mosaic method and add brick weaving only in those places where you need to make more complex and shaped parts.
Disadvantages brick weave
Such weaving unfortunately has lessdurability and reliability than other types. That is why this technique is not normally used to create large works. Compile circuit is quite difficult for him. Weaving turns tough, but beads adjacent to each other is not as tight as in a mosaic weaving. It is necessary to choose carefully thread. It must be very strong, as well as completely transparent or completely repeating tone beads. Otherwise, your product will look very messy. Do not use glass beads, which can cut the thread (cutting or glass beads). And yet, all the beads requires a very careful calibration. This type of weaving beads did not accept unequal in size or shape.

And yet, despite all the shortcomings, mastering this technique, you can create beautiful jewelry with complex configurations. These can be earrings, brooches, hairpins and even small necklaces.
