Peyote Stitch Projects from Beading Daily:7 Free Peyote Stitch Projects plus Bonus Guide to Reading a Peyote Stitch PatternPeyote stitch was not the easiest beading stitch for me tolearn.

Finger Food!LESLIE ROGALSKI, EDITOR IN CHIEFPhoto by Frank DeSantis.WHAT YOU NEED Matching colors of size 11 cylinder beads Size 12 (thin) beading needles WildFire beading thread Scissors Bead mat Bead Stopper (optional)This project is ideal for beginners who want to learn this popularstitch, and regular peyote fans will find these rings almostinstant gratification. Stripes make the pattern easy to follow, andsize 11 cylinder beads fit together smoothly. You’ll not only learnthe stitch, you’ll want to make these by the handful!The best beginner peyote tip ever!Peyote has a distinct in and out (or up and down) positioning ofbeads. New beads are stitched between the out beads. The first fewrows of peyote tend to twist, making it harder to recognize which beadyou next pass through. The first beads you string create the first tworows, and stitching the third row is where many beginners get lost. Ineven–count peyote, stitching is always doneFigure 1through the out beads, with new beads fitting between them likebricks, or like the teeth of a zipper.To pull the first row away from the second and make it instantlyclear which beads are the out beads: Take another long, thin needleand pass it through every other bead, starting with the last bead youstrung, and making sure not to pass through the bead with the tailthread. Pull row 1 down, away from row 2. Row 2 beads stick up, sothey’re the out beads.More wonderful beadwork projects are available at shop.beadingdaily.com/jewelryprojects 2012 Interweave Press LLC.

Artist’s TipPouring the beads next to each other helps you decide if you likethe colors together.Step 1: Create a 4-bead-widering in two colors, one for an insidestripe 2 beads wide, and one for theoutside borders. Pour out 4 piles inorder of the stripes: A-B-B-A.Step 2: String a 30” length ofWildFire on a needle. To prevent losing beads during your first few rows,string a stopper bead or place asmall sized Bead Stopper leaving a 6”tail. You can also wind the tailaround your non-dominant forefinger and hold it as you proceed.Step 3: String your first 2 rows,picking up 4 beads in order as they’repiled: A-B-B-A. Slide them all downto the stopper or your finger. Righties have the needle exiting towardsthe right, lefties towards the left.Step 4: Row 3: String 1A, skipthe border bead A in row 1 (whichFigure 1means, don’t sew through it) andpass through color B. The new Abead should sit right on top of the Ayou just skipped in row 1 (Figure 1).Figure 1Step 5: String 1B, skip over thesecond B you strung in row 1 andpass through the other border A inrow 2. Again, the new bead should sitdirectly on top of the skipped bead(Figure 2).Step 6: Row 4: String 1A. Skipthe border bead A in row 1 and passback through 1B in row 2. The new Abead should sit right on top of the Ayou just skipped in thepreviousFigure4 row (Figure 3).Step 7: String 1B, skip the Bbead in the previous row and passthrough the other border A bead.NoticeFigure4 how the beads fit betweeneach other as you stitch. You can seethe stripes forming (Figure 4).Step 8: Continue working inpeyote until the band is long enoughto fit comfortably over your finger.To “zip” together the ends, you donot string any new beads, but sewthrough the in and out beads so theyinterlock. Look at the ends of anedge stripe. One end bead must bean in bead, the other an out bead, tointerlock properly. Add or remove arow of beads to suit your desired fit.Did you know?Bead colors can look differentin tubes. For the best colormatching, pour some out tocompare!Figure 1Figure 1Step 9: Bring the ends togetherinaring.Figure1 Notice how the in and outbeads will fit together.

Pearly Mosaic designPearly Mosaicby Lisa Kandesign by lisa Kanoriginally published in Beadwork, June/July 2007Mosaic tile work inspired this necklacein colors chosen to mimic the sea. Byutilizing both transparent and opaqueJapanese seed beads in two sizes, 15 and 11 , Lisa added subtle texturalinterest to the design. Instead ofincreasing peyote stitches, one- and twodrop peyote is used to expand the ringuniformly. Although made in the samepattern, the rings have alternating colorsand connecting them in a particularsequence adds a sense of controlledrandomness and movement. The pearlclasp closure provides a seamlessconnection and is modeled after a balland-socket concept.Finished size:19"Materials:6 g bronze size 15 seed beads (A)Joe Coca4 g each size 15 seed beads in chartreuse luster, silverlined teal, teal metallic matte, and olive AB matte (A)3 g each size 11 seed beads in matching colors (B)1 g sage iris matte size 8 seed beads (C)3 olivine 6mm cubic zirconia faceted drops24 aqua sage 6mm freshwater pearlsTan Silamide beading threadBeeswaxtools:Size 12 beading needleScissorstechnique: Circular Peyote StitchPeyote Stitch Projects from beadingdaily: 7 free Peyote Stitch Patterns Interweave Press Not to be reprinted All rights reserved www.beadingdaily.comMore wonderful beadwork projects are available at shop.beadingdaily.com/jewelryprojects 2012 Interweave Press LLC.
