Odd Count Two Bead Peyote Bracelet start

1.At the top of the pattern you will see that the bracelet comes to a slight point, you need
to ignore the bead groups that are blocked off by a black diagonal line, these beads are
added later using the "tail" thread so leave about 10" of tail when starting the project.








2. Your first stitches begin at the widest part of the pattern so string the beads marked by
the red line starting at the arrow

3. String the first two beads in the green line (silver and green), pass through two beads
from prior row (in this case they are green and pink) string next two (blue) pass through
two from prior row (blue) etc to end of the green line.

4. Tie the tail (red) and the thread that exits with the needle ( green) together.

5. Pass needle back through the last two beads added (blue and silver beads) as shown
with orange line and begin adding next row of beads indicated with the blue line.

6. Add the row indicated by the blue line and note that at the end of the blue line row
(and all rows that exit to the right) you need to pass needle under the loop of thread on
the side of the beads and go back through the beads just added to position the thread for
the next row. The left side is a simple turn without the need to catch the thread loop.

7. When bracelet is complete add the beads marked by the diagonal black lines using the
tail of the starting thread to create the tapered point.
