This crisscrossing beauty can be made in an evening.

Step 1: String 9 size 11°s and one half of the toggle clasp. Pass through all 2 times and tie a knot.

Step 2: String 9 size 11°s. Pass through the fifth bead strung in the previous step. Pass through the first 5 beads strung in this step.

Step 3: String 11 size 11°s. Pass through the fifth bead strung in the previous step and the first 6 beads strung in this step (Figure 1).

Step 4: String 11 size 11°s. Pass through the sixth bead strung in the previous step and the first 6 beads strung in this step.

Step 5: Repeat this 11-bead loop enough times to reach your desired length. For a small bracelet using 4mm crystals along the edge, make 22 loops; if you use 3mm crystals, make 24 loops. For a large bracelet using 4mm crystals along the edge, make 24 loops; if you use 3mm crystals, make 26 loops.

Step 6: String 9 size 11°s. Pass back through the sixth bead of the last loop in the previous step and the first 5 beads strung in this step.

Step 7: String 9 size 11°s and the second half of the toggle clasp. Pass back through all a few times to reinforce the clasp.

Step 8: Weave through the beads to exit from the sixth bead of the first 11-bead loop. *String 1 size 13° or 14°, 1 crystal, and 1 size 13° or 14°. Pass through the crossover bead of the next loop (Figure 2). Repeat from * until you reach the last set of size 11°s. Note: Pull the thread snug, but not too tight. Too much tension and the bracelet will stiffen up and not lie right. Pass through the crossover beads in opposite directions, zigzagging down the bracelet.
