Floral Peyote Stitch Needle Case Cover Pattern

Description

The Floral Peyote Stitch Needle Case Cover Pattern is a great way to get into get to grips with even count peyote stitch.

Steph ran a peyote stitch needle case class a few years back. As a project that’s not too difficult once you’ve got started it was clear it’d made an ideal kit and pattern too. The repeating, but simple design is easy to get to grips with. Our floral design in particular is a got design to start with as the first few row are the same colour (less to think about at the beginning). Once you have completed your first few rows and your confidence grows you will find your stride and it become much easier.

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 instructions to help you get started along side diagrams. We have also included a link to a video showing how to create and add the top and bottom of the case. We’ve also provided a large chart of the whole design to make it easy to follow and tick off the beads as you go. We’ve also provided a blank chart so if you’re feeling confident you can design your own too.

For more advanced beaders or those who’ve made needle case covers before you can skip straight to the charted design.

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.
