(Step 1) Ladder stitch base for tubular herringbone On a comfortable length of Fireline string on 4C and leaving a 3” tail for weaving in, pass through all four beads again, pulling into two neat stacks. a. Pick up 2C and pass down the previous stack. b. Pass up the two beads you just added. c. Pick up 2C and pass up the previous stack and back down the two beads you just added. Now let’s connect the stacks.
d. Pass up the very first stack of beads. e. Now pass down the very last stack (the one you were exiting) f. Pull them together to form a ‘tube’. Pass up the first stack again. Begin Tubular Herringbone a. Pick up 2C and pass down one bead on the next stack to the right. b. Pass up one bead on the next stack to the right. c. Pick up 2C and pass down one bead on the next stack to the right. d. Pass up two beads on the last stack to the right. Continue tubular herringbone steps ad until you are 5 beads high.

For the next round, pick up 2C and pass down one bead on the next stack to the right. Pick up 2C and pass up one bead on the next stack to the right. Pick up 2C and pass down one bead on the next stack to the right. Pick up 2C and pass up two beads on the last stack to the right. Now we switch to peyote. Pick up 1C and pass down the next bead. Repeat all the way around, so that you have one bead in between each of the beads from the previous round. Step up through the first bead added in the round. For the next three rounds continue peyote stitch, using D beads. Make sure to step up each round!
To attach stem to pumpkin, pass down from the D bead through the B bead of the pumpkin and back through the D bead you started from. (Looping the two beads together). Pass to the next ‘stickie outie’ D bead and repeat all the way around.

Once your stem is attached to pump kin pass up through the beadwork until you are exiting a D bead close to the base of the step. Pick up 1E and pass through the next bead to secure. Pass up the stem until you are exiting the stem. Weave off and end threads. Pass your headpin up through the center of your beadwork. Using your One Step Loopers (or round nose pliers) make a simple loop. Attach your earwire and close all loops securely. Repeat all instructions for second earring. Enjoy!
