Peyote Stitch is one of the most versatile beading stitches. This stitch can be flat, tubular or spiral. Traditionally, Peyote Stitch is a Native American stitch and can be seen in much native beadwork. Once you learn this flat stitch bracelet you’ll be set to move on to other variations.
In my Flat Peyote Stitch class we start with the even count beginning, which is the easiest to learn, and use large sized beads to make the project work up quickly. Larger beads also help you to recognize the pattern much easier than working with small beads. Once you learn this stitch with large beads it is so easy to move on to using smaller beads or other bead shapes.
Here’s a sample of the same pattern and stitch but made with triangle shaped beads. This variation creates a complicated and sophisticated look.
