Heart peyote bracelet panel

Work the existing heart cuff drawing as an even-count peyote panel. The bead engine checks the actual pickup sequence and reports the panel’s bead dimensions before you add a clasp.

Original Purlgrid recipe · engine-checked counts · diagrams are previews, not photographs of a physically made sample.

Supplies and skills

Uniform cylinder beads in the three chart colours, beading thread, a beading needle and your chosen clasp.

  • Even-count peyote
  • Read bead symbols
  • Finish thread and clasp

How to make it

  1. Open the editable bead design and compare its measured panel length with the wrist and clasp you intend to use. The initial panel is a starting design, not a fitted bracelet size.
  2. Follow the first pickup exactly: those beads become the first two peyote rows. Keep an identifiable stop bead or another temporary start suitable for your beading method.
  3. Work the subsequent rows in the listed directions, adding one bead into each gap. Check the symbols and colours rather than treating the staggered chart as an ordinary square grid.
  4. After the final row, weave the thread securely through existing bead paths and attach your chosen clasp according to its construction. Allow for clasp length when setting the panel dimensions.

Clasp, thread use and worn ease are not included in the bead panel dimensions. Corrected 2 November 2026: the three hearts are now drawn bead by bead and are identical, with a clear notch and a pointed tip; the panel is 363 cream, 141 red and 84 gold beads (before 380, 124 and 84).

  • ✓ The written rows rebuild your chart bead for bead (588 beads).
  • ✓ Even count, 14 stitches across: every row has 7 beads. Rows 1 & 2 are picked up right to left, so the last bead you pick up drops down and row 3 starts on top.
  • ✓ 84 rows in all: two peyote rows make one bead of height, so 42 beads up each column.

Questions about this project

Why are two printed peyote rows one bead high?

Adjacent columns are offset. The engine distinguishes peyote rows from full beads up each column and checks the pickup sequence against that staggered layout.

Will the default panel fit my wrist?

It may not. Measure your wrist, decide the ease and subtract the clasp length before choosing the beaded section length. Resize in the bead tool and review its regenerated steps.
