Nancy Peterson's "Canterbury Bracelet" has been one of my favorite beading patterns going all the way back to when I first learned to bead back in 2014. I was sorry to hear last year that Nancy will no longer be selling her beading patterns and many of my readers have been asking where they can get this pattern. After discussing this with Nancy, she has graciously allowed me post her pattern here on my blog as a free download. You will find the download link below.

ReplyDeleteglad to see you're back, missed you!
Thanks, Cally.
DeleteIs there a necklace pattern to go with it, please? It's so pretty, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am not aware of a necklace pattern and Nancy no longer has her patterns up for sale online.
DeleteKaren,

Thank you.

Thank you for your prompt reply, Nancy. I recognized your name and the pattern looked so familiar to me. It's Elspeth's Collar - one of my absolute favourite patterns ever. I found it in my collection from Beadwork Magazine. I made a few of these necklaces with different beads and colors schemes because I loved it so much...thank you so much for your beautiful designs.
DeleteKaren, Glad you found it and thank you for your very kind words. I have it in a few colors myself, lol!
DeleteI have always liked this bracelet but never got around to making it. Thanks to you and Nancy for providing the pattern. I think I may have actually purchased it when you first blogged about.

Thank you

I just tested the link and it's working fine.
DeleteI can't figure out how to download. Dang it. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Help please
ReplyDeleteIf you click on the link, a download dialog box should pop up. Or, try right-clicking the link and choose "Save Link As...". I just tested the link and it is working.
Deletethis didn't come out that great for me. If i leave it the way it is shown above, the edging of seven 11/0 beads does not stay flat and flops around. If i add the extra line of embellishment, it looks uneven.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I make this pattern, I do extensive reinforcing of the netting beads. I weave around the perimeter of the bracelet two or three times.
