Peyote and brick stitch letters

Using these peyote & brick stitch letters

Each character is shown on a peyote grid with its bead count and finished size in 11/0 cylinder beads, and its word chart row by row, so you can follow it without counting columns. For whole names, use the peyote name pattern maker.

Switch to brick stitch in the editor if you are making earrings or a pendant: the same letter is redrawn on an offset-row grid.

Tips before you start

In peyote every other column sits half a bead lower, so straight horizontal strokes come out slightly stepped. Letters still read well at bracelet scale; for a name along a cuff use the Sideways layout in the text tool so each letter runs across the band.

Brick stitch shifts rows instead of columns, which suits earrings and pendants where the letter hangs vertically. Use cylinder beads for both: their flat ends sit tightly together and keep letter edges sharp.

Working in another craft? The same alphabet is charted for cross stitch, fuse beads, alpha bracelets, C2C crochet, knitting charts, diamond painting, needlepoint, latch hook, brick mosaic, pony beads and pixel art.
