This video tutorial from Potomac Bead Company co-founder Allie Buchman teaches you how to use peyote stitch to create a chevron pattern. This video uses 8/0 Miyuki seed beads, but you can use nearly any size.
Technique learned: Peyote Stitch
The designer's suggested colors & materials:
Preparing Materials: Gather all necessary materials and thread your needle with approximately six feet of beading thread, securing it with a stop bead.
Starting the Pattern: Begin with an even count peyote stitch using six beads in a two-blue, two-crystal, two-blue pattern.
Building the Chevron: Add beads to create diagonal lines, alternating between blue and crystal to form the chevron (zigzag) pattern.
Expanding the Design: Continue the peyote stitch, expanding the chevron design across the desired length of the bracelet.
Adding the Clasp: Once the main pattern is complete, attach the cup button at one end and create a loop with seed beads at the other end for closure.
Finishing Touches: Secure the thread with knots, apply a touch of glue for durability, and trim any excess thread.
