What is the easiest way to learn to make a peyote stitch tube?
Everyone has trouble learning peyote stitch! Many give up. Don’t – it’s worth the effort to learn. I suggest you work with large beads (such as “E”, size 6/0). Make a round of just three beads. Use three different colors, “a”, “b” & “c”. 1) String your three colors of beads onto your needle and thread and form a ring by passing the needle through bead “a”. Leave at least a six inch end hanging on for finishing later. 2) Pick up an “a” bead and pass the needle back through the “a” bead in the ring (going in a counterclockwise direction). Pick up a “b” bead in the ring and pass the needle through the “b” bead in the ring. Pick up a “c” bead and pass the needle through the “c” bead in the ring. 3) Continue by picking up another “a” bead and passing the needle through the “a” bead of the row just formed. Pick up another “b” bead and pass the needle through the “b” bead of the row just formed. Pick up a “c” bead and pass the needle through the “c” bead of the row just formed. 4) Repeat this
