ARTIST’S TIPS

• If you’re using similar colors

for the “dots,” lay them out in

a row to keep track.

• Be sure that the beads snap

into place in each peyote-

stitched row.

1) CLOSED SECTION. Peyote-stitch the

first portion of the cuff:

Rows 1 and 2: Use 6' of thread to string

14A, leaving a 2' tail.

Row 3: String 2A, skip the 2A previously

strung, and pass through 1A; repeat

three times to add a total of 8A.

String 2A and tie a knot with the work-

ing and tail threads to secure the beads.

Pass back through the last 2A added.

Row 4: String 1B and pass back through

the next 2A from the previous row;

repeat three times to add a total of 4B.

Row 5: String 2A and pass back through

the nearest bead added from the pre-

vious row; repeat to add a total of 10A.

Form a turnaround to step up for the

next and subsequent rows by looping

the thread around the exposed thread

between beads from the previous two

rows and passing back through the

final 2A added in the current row.

Row 6: Repeat Row 4, substituting A

for B.

Row 7: Repeat Row 5.

Rows 8–39: Repeat Rows 4–6, substitut-

ing the next cylinder-bead color in the

materials list for the B in Rows 8, 12,

16, 20, 24, 28, 32, and 36.

Rows 40–43: Repeat Rows 4–7 (Fig. 1) .

2) OPEN SECTION. Form an opening

in the base:

Strip 1: String 2A; pass through the last

2A exited in the previous row and the

2A just added; repeat seven times,

using tight tension to form a ladder-

stitched strip 8 pairs long (Fig. 2—

green thread) .

Connector: String 12A (Fig. 2—blue thread) .

Strip 2: String 2A; pass through the last

2A exited on the connector and the

2A just added; repeat six times to

form a matching ladder-stitched strip

• It’s best to end and begin new

threads in a closed section

rather than in an open one.

• To shorten the bracelet, add

fewer rows of dots in the first

section. To lengthen, add

more rows of the background

color on the button end.

• I use contrasting-color thread

to accentuate the pixilated

nature of this design.

button to form the center stitch instead

of using 2A. Work 2 more rows of peyote

stitch in the same fashion, incorporat-

ing the button shank into the rows.

Once the button is fully incorporated

into the beadwork, work rows of peyote

stitch with one decrease at the begin-

ning of each row (Fig. 4) . Secure the

thread and trim. ✦

4) CLASP LOOP. Ladder-stitch an

opening for the button by repeating

Step 2 and adding enough pairs of 2A to

each strip so the opening is large enough

to accept the button. Repeat Step 1,

Rows 6, 5, and 4, to finish the square. If

the space is too large, repeat Step 3, Post

1, to close the opening’s size. Repeat the

entire thread path again to reinforce.

Secure the thread and trim.

3) POSTS. Add bugle and seed-bead

strands inside the opening:

Post 1: String 1K, 1L, 1M, 1L, and 1K;

pass through the mirror 2A directly

across the opening. Weave through

beads, forming a hidden turnaround,

skip the next 2A, and pass through

the next 2A, toward the inside of

t he open i n g.

Posts 2–4: Repeat Post 1 three times to

add a total of 4 posts. Weave through

beads to exit from the nearest end 2A

of the connector (Fig. 3) .

Repeat Step 1, Rows 3–43, through Step 3,

reversing the order of the colored beads
