Crystals, Pearls and Cubes Necklace Pattern

Pretty lace necklaces are always a great addition to your wardrobe. They are simple to make and they sure can sparkle. The more crystals you use the more sparkle you will have. Go into a room with the new LED lights and you will be noticed if you are wearing crystals. I used up some extra beads that I had for the necklace, the Chinese crystals, cube beads and the Round Pearl beads. If you have any extra beads lying around of weird shape, this pattern is very forgiving when you use different shape or size beads.

I used Fireline 6lb. crystal.  Tie in a "stopper" bead, leaving about an 8" tail and begin at step #1.

Peyote Beaded Bracelet Graph Pattern

This is a graph pattern is for a pretty but basic peyote bracelet pattern. At the bottom I have also included some basic odd count peyote instructions to help you complete your bracelet.

 

 

Miyuki Delica seed beads size 11/0

 

 

 

Continue to repeat the pattern until your bracelet is the length that you would like. 

 

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....

...Continue Row 3 turn, at an angle up through the row 1 and row 2 beads as shown...

 

...Continue Row 3 turn, at an angle down through the row 1 bead as shown...

...Continue Row 3 turn, at an angle up through the row 3 bead as shown.

Row 4, add 1 bead between all the raised row 3 beads and go left to right through the row 3 beads 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.

 Basic Decrease In odd Count Peyote

 

Decrease 1
At the end of row, with working thread go around thread on the side of the previous row. (hook it around), Continue with working thread left to right through the last 2 beads in previous row and new row just added.

Decrease 2 
At the end of row, with working thread go around thread in the previous row. (hook it around), Continue with working thread left to right through the last bead in row just finished.

Decrease 3
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.

 

Decrease 4
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.

 

Now you can add your closure.

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.
