Checking out a website to share patterns for free...

I recently discovered a website called Kandi Pad, where I am posting free beading patterns. I have conflicting feelings about it because, shortly after visiting the site, I found my patterns, which can only be purchased from me, being shared. However, I am hopeful that there are more conscientious creators than dodgy ones. Many of the patterns I saw were truly amazing and creative!

As you may know, I have been listing "diagram only" designs on my Etsy page for a minimal price to cover my costs. Kandi Pad lets me load my designs without listing fees, and you can download the pattern for free. A pro subscription is available, but I'll review that option at a later date.

The first pattern I'm sharing is a reboot of an old Giraffe design from 2014. If you'd like to view the downloadable pattern, the link is listed below.

Please leave a comment on Kandi Pad, so I know you stopped by for a visit, and let me know what you think! And, if you like my designs, please also visit me on Etsy to see more of my patterns.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy beading!

Help: Fish Two-Layer Pattern #400

These two-layer patterns are simple to stitch for those with basic brick stitch beading experience. Unlike many brick stitch patterns that tend to fold, this design is layered to provide added structure, allowing the finished piece to maintain its shape without needing extra reinforcement.

 

The PDF pattern you purchased on Etsy will outline the thread path. Additionally, here is a video demonstrating how I completed the stitch.
