4 Bead Star
3 Count Matrix
12 Strand Border

Description: This is an openface, 12 strand, 3 count matrix, 4 bead star pattern.

Each border is made up of 12 strands. 4 of the these strands are used as bead carrier strands. In each layer of the shed, beads are strung on every third strand. The result is, starting at the outer edge of the border, beads are strung on strands 1, 6, 7, and 12.

If worsted weight yarn is used the border would be about 3/4 of an inch wide.
