Cellini Spiral Tutorial

The first round of tubular even count peyote stitch is complete; the step up has been made and you are in position to continue stitching.

Cellini spiral is basically tubular even count peyote stitch, but uses different types of beads to create the distinctive spiral shape.

Now that you have your base ring of beads tied together, you will begin working in tubular even count peyote stitch. Each bead that you stitch is based on the bead that your needle is coming out of.

Pick up 1 A, skip the next A, and pass through the next bead in the ring. Add two more A in this manner.

Pick up 1 B, pass through the next bead in the ring.

Pick up 1 C, pass through the next bead in the ring.

Pick up 1 D, pass through the next bead in the ring.

Pick up 1 C, pass through the next bead in the ring.

Pick up 1 B, pass through the next bead in the ring.

At this point, you will need to make the step up for tubular even count peyote.
