Even Count Peyote

Row 1 & 2

When we start Even Count Peyote we always pick up the first two rows together. If you want a piece of beadwork 20 beads wide, we pick up 20 beads (10 for Row 1 & 10 for Row 2).

I always tend to start at the bottom left of the pattern and work left to right.

Note: I am colouring the start bead of each row in pink to help guide you.

Row 3

We are now working in a right to left direction and we will be picking up 10 beads to create Row 3.

After each bead picked up go through the Next But One bead of Row 1 & 2

Row 4

See now how by adding Row 3, Row 1 & Row 2 have now been separated.

We are now working in a left to right direction and we will be picking up 10 beads to create Row 4.

After each bead picked up go through the Next bead of Row 3

Row 5

We are now working in a right to left direction and we will be picking up 10 beads to create Row 5.

After each bead picked up go through the Next bead of previous row.

Row 6

We are now working in a left to right direction and we will be picking up 10 beads to create Row 6.

After each bead picked up go through the Next bead of previous row.

Row 7 Onwards

All rows onwards are a repeat of Row 5 and Row 6
