About this design

Chevrons are a natural fit for peyote stitch, because the half-bead offset between columns turns a diagonal into a smooth slope instead of a staircase. This band repeats seven colours in rainbow order: red, pumpkin orange, marigold, lemon yellow, grass green, royal blue and violet. Each colour forms a V that is several rows deep at the centre, and a thinner white stripe separates every colour from the next so the sequence stays bright and crisp. Because the pattern repeats every seven stripes, it is easy to memorise after the first few inches.

How to make it

Work the band in even-count peyote with size 11/0 cylinder beads. String the beads for the first two rows from the word chart, then follow it row by row: each new row adds one bead in every other column, which is why the chart columns are offset by half a bead. At 12 columns the band is about 1.6 cm wide, and 105 rows make roughly 17 cm (about 6.6 in) before the clasp; add or remove whole repeats at either end to fit your wrist. Weave in the tails along the white stripes, where they are least visible.

Colour plan

Opaque chalk white does the most work, 21% of the 1,260 beads, followed by Opaque red at 14%. Every colour is used at least 114 times, so there are no tiny one-off details to hunt for. Every square of the grid is filled.

Working notes

Strung and stitched it is 209 worked rows (rows 1 and 2 are picked up together). 17 squares stand alone in their colour, with no same-coloured neighbour along a side.
