How it works
Add an image
The chart staggers every other column by half a bead, the way flat peyote sits.
Pick an even width
Even-count peyote is the easier start. An odd width works too but needs an odd-count turn at one edge.
Match your beads
Colours are common seed bead shades. Cylinder beads such as Delicas give the flattest fabric.
Follow the word chart
Rows 1 and 2 are picked up together in one pass, then each row lists its beads in the order you add them.

Frequently asked questions
How do I read the word chart?
Rows 1 and 2 are strung together, left to right across the top of every column. From row 3 on, each row adds one bead to every other column, and the direction alternates.
What is the difference with brick stitch?
Brick stitch is peyote turned a quarter turn: rows are offset instead of columns. It suits earrings and shapes.
Can I use this for an X-base kandi cuff?
Yes. X-base cuffs follow the same offset as peyote. Switch the palette to pony beads.
