In peyote stitch each new bead sits between two beads of the previous row rather than directly above one. The result is a brick-like offset, and it is the defining feature of the stitch rather than a quirk of it.
Charting peyote on square graph paper means constantly translating between what you draw and what you thread. This sheet does the offset for you, so the chart is a picture of the finished piece.
Seed beads are wider than they are tall once woven, and the ratio varies by size and brand — so both dimensions are adjustable here.
Every sheet here is free, adjustable and prints at exact scale.
They are the same offset grid rotated 90°. Peyote offsets columns vertically; brick stitch offsets rows horizontally. Use the brick pattern paper for brick stitch.
Measure a few beads of the size you are using. Size 11 delicas are roughly 1.6 mm wide by 1.3 mm tall; the ratio matters more than the absolute size.
Yes. Odd and even count differ in how you turn at the end of a row, not in how the beads sit, so one grid serves both.
