Janet you are very correct. Once the pattern appears, you don't really need the paper pattern anymore. You can use the pattern that you have already woven as a guide.

Do you ever do cuffs using the square stitch? Do you know where to find patterns or ideas for designing square stitch cuffs?

I have in the past but not this kind of cuffs. I personally don't particularly like working with square stitch. Also, I feel that square stitch does not give as pliable a cuff as peyote or loom. If you want the beads sitting perfectly in a grid pattern, then I would actually prefer to loom than to use square stitch.
