The pictorials are illustrated with spaces between beads for a clearer direction, in the actual beading, there should be no spaces.

| Step 1: |
- If it's your first try on odd count peyote, see the basic tutorial first.
However if you are well verse in Peyote stitch, just scroll to the bottom of the page for the complete peyote graph.
- Cut a piece of beading string around 1 meter long.
Start beading from the middle of the peyote piece.
This is a horizontal odd count peyote pattern.
- Add on the middle of the string, one black, nine white and one black beads.

| Step 2: |
- Continue to:
Bead downwards with the right string.
Add one black bead, loop back one white bead,
Add one white bead, loop back one white bead,
Add one black bead, loop back one white bead,
Add one white bead, loop back one white bead,
Add one black bead, loop back one black bead and continue to loop back through the last black bead added.
|
|
 |
| Step 3: |
- Continue to:
Bead downwards with the same string from step 2.
Add one black bead, loop back one white bead,
Add one white bead, loop back one black bead,
Add one white bead, loop back one white bead,
Add one black bead, loop back one black bead and continue to loop back through the last black bead added.
|
|
 |
| Step 4: |
- Continue to:
Bead downwards with the same string.
Add one white bead, loop back one white bead,
Add one white bead, loop back one white bead,
Add one white bead, loop back one black bead.

|
 |
| Step 5: |
- Continue to:
Now that you get the basic idea, we will go faster.
The numbering is the bead's sequence to be added e.g.
1 represents the first bead to be added from here on.
So the coming rows are as follow:
Row 1 - add four black beads. (1,
2,
3,
4)
Row 2 - add three black beads. (5,
6,
7)
Row 3 - add four black beads. (8,
9,
10,
11)
Row 4 - add three white beads. (12,
13,
14)
Row 5 - add one black, two white and one black beads. (15,
16,
17,
18)
Row 6 - add three black beads. (19,
20,
21)
Row 7 - add two black beads. (22,
23)
After you finished loop and pass the excess string back through the piece for a more secure piece (loop it further up and there's no need to knot)

|
| Step 6: |
- Now to use the other string (that you left neglected from step 1) to bead upwards:
Row 1 - add one black, one white, two black, one white and one black beads. (1,
2,
3,
4, 5, 6)
Row 2 - add one white, one black, one white, one black and one white beads. (7,
8,
9,
10, 11)
Row 3 - add six black beads. (12,
13,
14,
15, 16, 17)
Row 4 - add one white, one black, one white, one black and one white beads. (18,
19,
20,
21, 22)
Row 5 - add one black, four white and one black beads. (23,
24,
25,
26, 27, 28)
Row 6 - add one black, three white and one black beads. (29,
30,
31,
32, 33)
Row 7 - add four black beads. (34,
35,
36,
37)
Row 8 - add three black beads. (38,
39,
40)
After this, loop the string back to the black bead marked
39.
Add four more black beads to form a beaded circle to act as a loop to hang on earring, pendent or jump ring to hang anywhere you wish.
After you finished loop and pass the excess string back through the piece for a more secure piece (loop it further down and there's no need to knot)
