Any size of rounded bead

Step 1: Pick 3 beads,  push it to the center of your FL so you have a right and left FL. Pick a 4th bead on either FL and cross with it.

To add another layer, cut a new FL. You will notice that the matting has a right side, a middle and a left side. You will be using any of the sides.

Step 5: Pick 2 beads on your right FL, 1 bead on your left FL, pick 1 more bead on either of the right or left FL and cross.

Step 6: Pass your left FL to the next side bead.

Step 7: Pick 1 bead on your right FL, 1 on either of the FL and cross.
