Double Spiral stitch is a variation of the Spiral Rope stitch. Using this technique, you create rope jewelry that has two different loops of beads swirling around a central spine.

If you have never attempted Spiral Rope stitch, you can find a tutorial here. It is however, not necessary to learn the basic stitch first before attempting the Double Spiral technique because it is a fairly simple stitch.

Below you'll find a tutorial showing you a simple Double Spiral Rope bracelet using a combination of size 8 and 11 seed beads. This technique is highly adaptable and you can change up the pattern and add in any type of beads you like as accent beads.
