To end the pattern, complete R12, omit R13

Repeat R3, R2, R2, rw

R (3): 6 + (p SSSR 8) 2 • 1 • 1 • 2., rw

Repeat R6, 5

R (3): 6 + 2 • 1 • 1 +(• R7) 8 •.

Use thread end to sew down through the centerline of beads, tacking at even
intervals if making the barrette.

Single Shuttle Split Ring (Loop Over Method) Technique by Matthew Takeda

This ring is a stand-alone ring. Picots can be added to this ring, but they cannot
be joined to previous work. The loop needs an anchor point and must be able
to get over both the shuttle and the ring unless a different anchor is provided.
