While I do agree that even count peyote patterns that are planned out work up to be bracelets that are just as beautiful as odd count peyote, there is just something about weaving your bracelets into that perfectly tapered point. It is so satisfying! They make for beautiful endings with a special clasp. And some patterns just work out to be odd count because of the design!
I was browsing YouTube a while back, and discovered a video from The Potomac Bead Company. It explains how to use two needles at the ends of your single piece of thread to quickly and easily weave up an odd count peyote pattern!
See there! I gave it a go over the weekend and it works beautifully! Now you can have confidence while browsing through odd count peyote patterns!
I do have a few in my shop to get you started!
There's this super fun Rainbow Hearts Odd Count Three Drop Peyote Pattern:
And this very unique Honey Bee Pattern:
There is also this elegant Phantom of the Opera inspired pattern:
I have several more odd count patterns available, but these should be enough to get you started with the new technique!
What will you make first?
Happy Beading!
Amanda
