Bead Patterns and Ideas : January 2016

This bracelet is made using a couple of the newer beads, Czech Mates Triangle bead and Tila's. It looks like it might be complicated to make, but once you get used to the thread path, you will move along quickly. With the triangle beads down the center it gives the bracelet a nice dimensional look.

Basic Odd Count Peyote instructions

Pick up Row 1 & 2

Row 3, add 1 bead and go right to left through the row 2 beads as shown. To do turn and start row 4, continue with working thread up at an angle through the last bead in row 1, last bead in row 2 and the 2nd from last bead in row 3 as shown....

Row 5, add 1 bead between all the raised row 4 beads and go right to left through the row 4 beads as shown. Do turn and go with working thread in the same manner as you ended and turned in Row 3

This is another version for turning rows. It does work great for bracelets.
At the end of odd Row, with working thread go through side thread of the previous row (hook it around), continue with working thread right to left through the last bead in row just finished.

To end thread weave through as shown in illustration. Crossing over the threads lock them in place without knotting. Bring in a new thread with a stopper bead, then weave off the new thread after removing the stopper bead in the same manner that was done with the old thread.

To add thread weave through as shown in illustration. Bring in a new thread with a stopper bead, then weave off the new thread after removing the stopper bead in the same manner that was done with the old thread.
