This seam is 2 rows of beaded cretan Cretan Stitch that have their central arms overlapped and sharing the bead.
The first row is worked with the puple rice beads down the centre and the seed beads on all the arms.
When working the second row… For the outside stitches across the bottom put a rice and a seed bead on the needle before working the stitch…For the overlapped/share a bead stitches in the centre put just a rice bead on the needle before putting the needle through the bead from the first row, hold the loop of the thread out of the way with your thumb then work the stitch under the bead.
