I've been posting lots of peyote stitch beading patterns, and figured I would post a journal with some instructions to help you out if you want to use them for yourself.

At first I was going to make them all on the same template, but decided to do more complicated sprites, so they're all a little different in size. If you want to use them individually, this doesn't matter. But if you want to join together a couple of patterns, here's how you do it:

1. Pick your patterns (Make sure all of the patterns you pick are either horizontal weave or vertical weave) They have to be the same weave to join into one piece, otherwise, you could make sections, and then attach them a different way.
2. Count the number of rows on the edge of the sheet. Add blank rows to the top and bottom to the smaller of the two patterns until you have the same count on both pieces.
3. Count the number of blank columns you want in between your patterns. Remove the extra columns and shift the second design over, be careful to line up the patterns correctly on the offset grid.
4. Repeat steps for all patterns until you get a piece the length you want
5. Stitch away!

The backing colors are just placeholders for whatever base color you want to use. My newer template doesn't have the bead count on it anymore, different program, sorry.

Patterns posted as of today:
