Try Some TwoDrop Peyote Stitch

Two-drop peyote stitch's long name makes it sound much more complicated than it really is. In fact, this stitch is great for beginners, especially in its "even-count" form.

So to celebrate the continued popularity of bracelets this season, I've colored up a new two-drop peyote cuff pattern for you to try. To make a bracelet, weave beads to your desired length and then add beaded loops for attaching a ready-made clasp, or stitch your own peyote double toggle.

Also new this week:

  • Make the bracelet step-by-step
  • Two-drop peyote diagram tutorial
  • How to read a two-drop peyote pattern chart

Once you master two-drop peyote, you can look for more interesting patterns online. Here are a few of my favorites currently listed on Etsy:

  • Corona cuff by FDEkszer
  • Daisies cuff by time2cre8
  • Michael by monjka

Are you beading up a cuff bracelet this season -- two-drop peyote or otherwise? If so, get ready to snap a photo and submit it to a new reader gallery I'll be putting together next week!
