0:00:07.340,0:00:11.559 Hi this Julie with Beadaholique.com and today
I want to show you how to do flat odd count peyote
0:00:11.559,0:00:13.369 stitch in bead weaving.
0:00:13.369,0:00:16.949 I have an example here of a project I started
using odd count peyote
0:00:16.949,0:00:20.810 and what's great about it is allows you
to create symmetrical patterns that have
0:00:20.810,0:00:24.119 a middle point.
So here we have this
0:00:24.119,0:00:28.579 chevron pattern and it comes to a point.
Since we have these lovely arrows
0:00:28.579,0:00:33.659 pointing we need a tip so we need to
have an odd number of columns in order
0:00:33.659,0:00:37.120 to achieve this.
So even count peyote stitch will not work.
So we need to
0:00:37.120,0:00:40.019 do odd count.
It's a little bit more work than even count
0:00:40.019,0:00:43.260 but does allow you to create signs like
this.
0:00:43.260,0:00:44.450 You're going to start it
0:00:44.450,0:00:46.409 by just having a length of thread
0:00:46.409,0:00:47.590 thread onto a needle
0:00:47.590,0:00:49.730 and I have a little stopper bead
0:00:49.730,0:00:53.690 It's going to be the same way you start even
count peyote except for
0:00:53.690,0:00:58.770 you're gonna string on an add number of
beads.
So I'm going to do nine here
0:00:58.770,0:01:00.020 So two
0:01:00.020,0:01:02.040 three
0:01:02.040,0:01:03.280 five
0:01:03.280,0:01:04.180 six
0:01:04.180,0:01:06.380 seven
0:01:06.380,0:01:08.000 eight nine
0:01:08.000,0:01:11.410 Now we're going to slide those beads down
to the stop bead
0:01:11.410,0:01:15.140 and we're going to do the same thing that
we would do in even count peyote which is
0:01:15.140,0:01:16.680 pick up another bead
0:01:16.680,0:01:18.870 to start our second row
0:01:18.870,0:01:21.120 and we're going to jump over
0:01:21.120,0:01:22.000 the last
0:01:22.000,0:01:25.150 turquoise bead of row one that we have
strung
0:01:25.150,0:01:27.850 go into
0:01:27.850,0:01:30.780 to one right next to it
0:01:30.780,0:01:34.270 it could be a little too hard when you
first starting this to get your beads to
0:01:34.270,0:01:41.270 pull snug you're just going to work with
them
0:01:49.440,0:01:52.220 that's what we want for the beginning
0:01:52.220,0:01:54.710 and this is still the same process
0:01:54.710,0:01:59.229 as even count and skip over the next bead
0:01:59.229,0:02:05.619 go through the one next to it
0:02:05.619,0:02:08.590 kind of work these as you go to get them
to line up
0:02:08.590,0:02:11.419 watch your thread tension as well
0:02:11.419,0:02:16.829 pick up another bead skip over
the next bead
0:02:16.829,0:02:23.829 go through to the following one
0:02:31.469,0:02:33.379 skip over
0:02:33.379,0:02:36.839 go to the next one
0:02:36.839,0:02:39.409 and this is where things get tricky
0:02:39.409,0:02:41.080 so if this was
0:02:41.080,0:02:42.979 even count peyote
0:02:42.979,0:02:44.850 you wouldn't have this problem
0:02:44.850,0:02:51.069 where now you need to put on another
bead
0:02:51.069,0:02:54.989 but where do you go from here.
So this slides down.
You would normally want to
0:02:54.989,0:02:56.609 be able to do
0:02:56.609,0:02:58.419 is continue going this way
0:02:58.419,0:03:01.979 but you can't do that because this bead
is not anchored so what you're going to
0:03:01.979,0:03:02.610 do
0:03:02.610,0:03:03.739 is
0:03:03.739,0:03:06.039 go through
0:03:06.039,0:03:09.949 what was the first bead you strung
0:03:09.949,0:03:12.950 or what will be in all the other layers
the first bead
0:03:12.950,0:03:14.779 of the row below
0:03:14.779,0:03:16.929 go back through that bead
0:03:16.929,0:03:18.860 your also going to go through
0:03:18.860,0:03:21.239 the bead next to it
0:03:21.239,0:03:23.559 and
0:03:23.559,0:03:29.859 bead next to it but up on top of this
other row
0:03:29.859,0:03:34.789 pull
0:03:34.789,0:03:36.699 and then you go through
0:03:36.699,0:03:41.039 the bead below
0:03:41.039,0:03:43.319 and pull through
0:03:43.319,0:03:46.249 see what happens to that little loop
0:03:46.249,0:03:49.129 it's going to slide right in there
0:03:49.129,0:03:53.299 you can go back through that middle bead
0:03:53.299,0:03:57.299 and out again through that first bead
0:03:57.299,0:04:00.869 I'm going to show you this again when we get
to another row
0:04:00.869,0:04:05.189 but realize you're
concentrating on this series of five
0:04:05.189,0:04:06.989 beads right here
0:04:06.989,0:04:09.199 so we went
0:04:09.199,0:04:11.159 down through here
0:04:11.159,0:04:12.749 came up
0:04:12.749,0:04:14.179 looped around
0:04:14.179,0:04:16.449 back here
0:04:16.449,0:04:19.370 and now we're going to go through
0:04:19.370,0:04:24.009 the first bead of the second row
0:04:24.009,0:04:24.979 and now
0:04:24.979,0:04:28.009 our is positioned where we want it
0:04:28.009,0:04:29.949 to continue
0:04:29.949,0:04:32.150 with our weaving
0:04:32.150,0:04:36.499 I am doing a chevron pattern here so
I'm going to pick up
0:04:36.499,0:04:39.509 a darker blue bead
0:04:39.509,0:04:41.340 and now we're gonna progress
0:04:41.340,0:04:42.229 on this
0:04:42.229,0:04:49.229 just the same way we normally do with
peyote stitch
0:04:52.589,0:04:56.870 This is twisted around.
Fix it.
0:04:56.870,0:05:01.780 Twist it back
0:05:01.780,0:05:04.259 Now on this end
0:05:04.259,0:05:06.050 all is good.
My thread is
0:05:06.050,0:05:11.759 exiting the last bead on the row we
just strung.
Go back up and around
0:05:11.759,0:05:15.650 It's going to be every other row where you're
gonna have to
0:05:15.650,0:05:19.870 weave your thread back into your
beadwork so that you can position that
0:05:19.870,0:05:23.509 your thread and needle coming out in the
direction you want and out of the bead
0:05:23.509,0:05:25.090 you want
0:05:25.090,0:05:28.370 I'm going to continue here so we can get
to that the other side again and I can show
0:05:28.370,0:05:35.360 you how to do this
0:05:35.360,0:05:37.650 So now we're down to this end
0:05:37.650,0:05:42.719 where we need to add another bead to
finish our row but
0:05:42.719,0:05:45.349 where do we go.
So we have to go back
0:05:45.349,0:05:46.180 through
0:05:46.180,0:05:50.139 the first bead right below it on the row
below
0:05:50.139,0:05:54.189 Go through that bead, go through the
middle bead
0:05:54.189,0:05:59.379 and then this top bead as well
0:05:59.379,0:06:01.569 Get this
0:06:01.569,0:06:03.179 tail out of the way
0:06:03.179,0:06:05.519 hold that down so we can see what we're doing
0:06:05.519,0:06:10.739 just work with it, position that bead.
It's going to start the next row
0:06:10.739,0:06:12.499 and then I want to loop
0:06:12.499,0:06:16.679 the row
0:06:17.670,0:06:19.499 Go backup through the
0:06:19.499,0:06:21.219 middle bead
0:06:21.219,0:06:24.769 and exit through that first bead on the
row below
0:06:24.769,0:06:27.110 pull through
0:06:27.110,0:06:30.409 and come back
0:06:30.409,0:06:32.369 through what is going to be the
0:06:32.369,0:06:36.349 first bead on this next row
0:06:36.349,0:06:39.099 Add another bead
0:06:39.099,0:06:45.419 do my stitching as usual
0:06:45.419,0:06:48.300 and I want to show you one more time how
to do this because I know it can be
0:06:48.300,0:06:55.300 confusing when you're first starting how to
figure out how to do this
0:06:55.819,0:06:58.580 So this end is one we don't have to
0:06:58.580,0:07:00.929 weave our thread back into our bead work
0:07:00.929,0:07:03.259 It's all positioned the way it should be
0:07:03.259,0:07:10.259 the way it's suppose to be
0:07:11.269,0:07:18.269 We're created a nice point in the
middle
0:07:20.460,0:07:23.360 and here we go.
So one more time
0:07:23.360,0:07:27.969 So you pick up the last bead
0:07:27.969,0:07:29.819 pull it down
0:07:29.819,0:07:31.679 go through
0:07:31.679,0:07:32.920 the bead below it
0:07:32.920,0:07:33.909 on the row
0:07:33.909,0:07:36.110 the first bead on the row below
0:07:36.110,0:07:37.910 the middle bead
0:07:37.910,0:07:41.169 and then this top bead
0:07:41.169,0:07:43.570 pull through
0:07:43.570,0:07:48.220 help it with your fingers so that the
bead lays where it needs to lay
0:07:48.220,0:07:55.180 through the bead below
0:07:55.180,0:07:58.499 Go through that middle bead again
0:07:58.499,0:08:02.699 and exit through that first bead on
the row below
0:08:02.699,0:08:06.289 come back around
0:08:06.289,0:08:09.099 go through that top bead
0:08:09.099,0:08:12.399 so that your thread is in the position
you want to be in
0:08:12.399,0:08:16.369 So it does take more work to do odd count
peyote than even count peyote
0:08:16.369,0:08:20.269 it does require you weaving your
thread back in your beadwork on every other
0:08:20.269,0:08:21.330 row
0:08:21.330,0:08:24.739 but it does allow you to create really
fun symmetrical designs with a
0:08:24.739,0:08:25.059 center pattern.
