Before you begin: This bracelet is made using odd count peyote stitch. If not familiar with this stitch you may want to practice with just the cube beads before including the drop beads. To view our illustrated instructions visit the odd count peyote page.
1. Begin with approximately 5 feet of thread. String on thirteen Miyuki 1.8mm Square Beads (SB18).
2. String one SB18 keeping it apart from the others. Moving from right to left, skip over the first SB18 and pass through the next.
3. Pull thread to secure.
4. String one SB18. Skip one SB18 and pass through the next.
5. Continue this pattern until there is one SB18 remaining on the thread.
6. String one SB18. Moving from left to right, pass through the remaining SB18.
7. Follow the existing thread path through the next two SB18 beads, exiting on the lower side of the bracelet.
8. Turn and pass through the SB18 directly above the one just exited. Follow the existing thread path back to the left edge, exit the lower SB18.
9. Turn and pass through the upper SB18 on the left edge.
10. String one SB18 and pass through the next SB18 to the right. This new bead should sit in the lowered space between the beads added in the previous row.
11. Repeat step 10 across the entire row exiting the last SB18 on the right.
12. String one SB18 and pass through the next slightly raised SB18 to the left.
13. String one Miyuki 3.4mm Drop Bead (DP) in color DP-150F.
14. Pass through the next SB18 to the left. String one Drop bead in color DP-149F.
15. Repeat step 13 adding drop beads in the following order DP-2405F, DP-143F, DP-132F.
16. String one SB18. Moving from left to right pass through the last SB18 in the previous row.
17. Continue through the next SB18 to the right.
18. Turn and follow the thread path back to left edge of the bracelet. Moving from left to right pass through the SB18 most recently added.
19. String one SB18 and pass through the next DP bead to the right.
20. Continue this pattern to the end of the row.
21. Change direction and add another row of SB18 beads. This row will secure the drop beads in an upright position.
22. Repeat steps 16 and 17.
23. Repeat step 18.
24. Add another row of SB18 beads.
25. Repeat steps 12-24. When adding the drop bead row (steps 13-15) always begin the new row with the last color used in the previous row. The pattern will shift by one color creating the diagonal stripe. For a finished length of 7 1/2 inches, stitch eight repetitions of the diagonal stripe pattern, or 40 rows of DP beads.
26. Add a fourth row of SB18 beads at the end of the bracelet. Repeat steps 16-18 to prepare for the next row.
27. String one SB18 and stitch into place. String two SB18 beads, one 8mm Swarovski pearl, and one SB18.
28. Pass back down through the pearl and two SB18 beads. Continue through the next SB18 and pull tight to secure.
29. Stitch two SB18 beads into place.
30. String two SB18 beads, one 8mm Swarovski pearl, and one SB18. Repeat step 28 to secure. Stitch one more SB18 into place to finish the row.
31. On the opposite end of the bracelet string one SB18 and stitch into place. String seventeen SB18 beads.
32. Form a loop by passing down through the first of the seventeen SB18 beads. Pass through the next SB18.
33. Stitch on two SB18 beads.
34. String another seventeen SB18 beads. Repeat step 32.
35. Sew in and trim all thread tails.
