Peyote stitch graph paper with offset columns

In peyote stitch the bead holes run across the work, so each bead is a little taller than it is wide and neighbouring columns sit half a bead apart. The cells here use the real shape of your beads, so curves and lettering look right before you pick up a needle.

Working another stitch? Use brick stitch graph paper or loom bead graph paper.

How to use it

Choose your beads: Delica 11/0, round 11/0 seed beads, or enter your own bead size.
Choose how much larger than real size to print, so the cells are easy to colour.
Optionally set the number of columns and beads per column for a bracelet or panel.
Download and print at 100%, then colour one cell per bead.

Questions

What does peyote graph paper look like?

Peyote beads sit in columns, with every other column shifted half a bead up or down. Peyote graph paper copies that offset, so a design drawn on it looks the same as the finished beadwork.

Is this for even-count or odd-count peyote?

The grid works for both. For flat even-count peyote, use an even number of columns; for odd-count, use an odd number.

Why print larger than actual size?

An 11/0 Delica is only about 1.6 mm across, too small to colour neatly. Printing 2.5 or 3 times larger keeps the bead proportions while giving you room to work.

Can I chart a bracelet length?

Yes. Set the number of columns to your bracelet width and the beads per column to its length. At actual size, each Delica 11/0 bead adds about 1.6 mm along a column.
