One side of the "V" is made up of 7 beads, so again, you can use any combination of beads you want, but for the bracelet in this project I used the following pattern: 1 gold-colored; 2 bronze; 1 brown; 2 bronze; and 1 gold-colored.

2. Following the same instructions for the African amulet, work the "V" stitch back and forth between the two ladders just as you would when connecting the four circular ladders of the amulet. You will go all the way down the two ladders and then all the way back, so there will be a double layer.
