Peyote Stitch Graph Paper: uses, sizes and printing tips
Peyote (gourd) stitch beads sit in columns offset by half a bead, so peyote patterns need their own graph paper. Color one cell per bead to design bracelets, bookmarks and beaded panels.
How to print it
- Choose the paper size (US Letter, A4, Legal, A5 or Half Letter) and portrait or landscape — the page updates as you change settings.
- Choose the grid type (square, knitting, peyote, brick or loom), the number of squares per inch or bead size, and heavy lines with numbers every 10.
- Add a title or a name/date header if you want, or keep the page plain.
- Click Print / Save as PDF. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” (100%) and turn off “Headers and footers”.
Tips
- Use Delica cylinder beads for the most even, grid-like result.
- Color one square per stitch or bead with colored pencils, and keep a key of colors and symbols in the margin.
- Heavy lines every 10 squares make it much easier to count while you stitch.
FAQ
Is this even-count or odd-count peyote?
Both — the grid is the same; just choose an even or odd number of columns for your design.
Can I use it for brick stitch?
Brick stitch is offset by rows, not columns — use the brick stitch graph paper.
Does the chart have to be the same size as the finished piece?
No. The chart only needs the same number of squares; a bigger chart is easier to read while you work.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
It is completely free with no sign-up and no download. Change the settings, print it or save it as a PDF, and bookmark the address — your settings are stored in the link.
