FPF: Grumpy Pumpkins

It’s Friday the 13th and Halloween is coming up fast. Let’s do a cuff with some grumpy pumpkins in odd-count peyote stitch this week.  You’ll need two orange, a green and  black.  It’s a repeating pattern.  Work until it fits your wrist and add (your choice) of clasp.

You can also widen the cuff and add a border on each side, if you wish.  Have fun and happy beading!

FPF: Loom vs Peyote

Two graphs for Free Pattern Fridays this time.  With a couple of minor tweaks, I converted my loom bracelet to 3-drop peyote.  Both are repeating designs.  First is the loom pattern.  It is 17 columns wide (0.9″).

The 3-drop peyote pattern is 21 columns (1.1″).

Here is how they will look once you’ve worked several sections.  Loom on the top, peyote on the bottom.

Have fun and happy beading!

BIF/FPF: Butterfly Wing

Here is a new 2-drop peyote pattern for the Bead-it-Forward gang.  The squares are so small (28×21) that I went with part of a butterfly wing this time.  Your choice of colors or bead as-is.

Have fun and happy beading!

FPF: Hedgehog Love

We’re going to do a playful pattern because I’m in a silly mood. I redesigned my Spiny Norman hedgehog earrings into a even-count peyote cuff.

There are two different ways to work it:

1. Repeat the pattern until it’s long enough to fit your wrist and add a clasp.
2. Stitch the longer piece, then work the smaller pattern on each end until it’s long enough to fit your wrist. Add a clasp and you’re done.

Click the images to enlarge and right-click to save to your hard drive.

You can also change the border color, add clouds, hills, trees, etc. in the background, outline the heart, or picot the edges. You could even leave off the heart and attach a charm in its place. Get creative, have fun and Happy Beading!
