Potato chip netting is simply three-bead netting that becomes

wrinkled by using smaller or larger beads in certain areas. The

basic instructions explain how to do three-bead netting. As

you work back and forth, begin to create the wrinkled areas by

substituting size 14° or size 8° seed beads for the size 11° beads.

You may begin the base row with all size 11° beads or you may

use a mixture of the three sizes.
