Reading a pattern for peyote stitch

Reading a pattern for peyote stitch

Posted by Anna Draeger  ·  August 1, 2008
Q How does one "load" and follow a pattern for flat peyote stitch ? I'm talking bead by bead. I realize it will vary pattern to pattern, but I have bought a lot of books, but none of them spell it out in a very specific way. If someone would just describe it for one pattern, I'm pretty sure I'd be able to apply it to all such projects. I can figure out odd vs. even, but changing colors to follow the pattern mystifies me. Thanks...
