We often use this technique for rings, bracelets and necklaces. We usually use 'TEGUSU' ( a fishing line,a spider wire) and don't use needles. It's called 'the HACHINOJI- AMI' and can be seen in many Japanese beading books. 'Hachi' means the number 8 in Japanese. 'Ji' means letter. 'Ami' means weaving. This weaving looks like the number 8. That's why it is called 'HACHINOJIAMI', I guess. Needles can be used if you want. Choose any beads you'd like. But It would be better if the eyes of the beads are big. Some beads which have sharp edges might cut even a fishing line.

For Convenience, the right-hand string is colored Pink(P) and the left is Blue(B).
Start by picking up 3 beads and slide them to the center of your string.

Now add one new bead on the B and bring the P end through it from right to left, making a crossover.Notice that you have two strings coming out of one bead, pointing in opposite directions.

Add one new bead on P.
Add one new bead on B.

Add one new bead on P and bring B through the bead, making a crossover.
Repeat from step3 until your ring reaches the length you want.

Pick up one new bead on each string. Measure around the finger you want to wear it on at it's widest part. Make the ring almost that long and you're ready to finish. Bend your ring around, crossover through the very first bead at the opposite end.

Thread P string through the next three beads to make a knot. Pull the strings tightly. (Not too tight or your string might be cut off.) Tie a very secure knot. Put a bit of dab of glue on the knot. Weave the remaining strings back through the beads to secure.

Depending on the sizes of the knot and the eyes of the beads , you may be able to hide the knots. String both strings back through the nearest beads, pull P or B string so that the knot will be hidden into the bead. I like this way. Trim the excess strings carefully.

Tie a very secure knot just next to the bead which has big hole in it.
Put a dab of glue on the knot Thread one end of the sting into the bead and pull the string tight so that the knots will hide in it.Weave the remaining strings back through the beads to secure. The more you weave back, the stronger your project becomes. Trim the excess strings carefully. When cutting off the extra string, pull the string tight and cut as close to the beads as you can get.

Do not cross in the first bead.
Cross the strings in the top bead on the first row.
Add one new blue bead and a green bead onto the Pink string.
Add one new blue bead onto the Blue string.
Bring the Pink string through the blue bead, making a crossover.

In this way, you can make as many rows as you want. You might want to try a wide bracelet This method is versatile.
Change number or size of beads.

The most important point is to focus on which direction you want to add a row like top? bottom? left? right?
Choose a bead in which you make a crossover.. The diagram above shows one of making a row in the direction of top and left. The one below shows top and right.
