Bats At Dusk Peyote Pen Wrap Pattern

Description

This Bats At Dusk Peyote Pen Wrap pattern is a great intermediate level peyote bead weaving project.

Steph designed this Bats At Dusk Peyote Pen Wrap Kit for Hana’s birthday as a bug fan of bats and it was too great a design not to make it available for everyone.

The bats, stars and moon are spread throughout the design.  You will need to keep track of their placement in the design.  Though there are also some plain rows so this is another great project for confidence building. Just take the beading one row at a time and you will complete the design in no time. We know everyone learns in different ways, there’s no wrong or right way, just what works for you. Which is why we have provided several different options for created this pattern. There are written out, row by row, instructions. As well as 2 charts one with coded letters and one without. Which means you can find the way that works best for you.

How the pattern and design works is described in great detail, which is helpful for beginners. There is also the option to skip straight to the design more experienced beaders.

The pattern includes the colours used in the original design, however you can easily substitute them. Changing the colours in the design allows you to personalise your project, or allow you to use beads already in your stash. The weight of each bead colour required is included in the pattern. To help assess whether you have enough beads, or need to buy more there are approximately 200 beads in 1g of size 11 delica beads.

Beads required;
4g x background colour – we used DB906 sparkling purple lined
1g x  Bat colour 1 – we used DB310 matte black
0.5g x Bat colour 2 – we used DB010 opaque black
0.2g x Bat colour 3 – DB1340 metallic matte blue/grey
0.2g x star colour – we used DB035 galvanised Silver
0.2g x moon colour – we used DB200 opaque white
