How to Read a Tubular Peyote Pattern or Graph

From Jennifer VanBenschoten, former About.com Guide

The beads for the fourth round of this sample graph are colored yellow, and begin with the large "X" marked on the pattern. Each of the rows you stitch after this are marked with a large "X" and form a diagonal line across the pattern.

Some beaders like to count out the beads they need for each row and line them up on their bead mat, work pad or work surface to make it easier to keep track of their place in the peyote stitch pattern. Remember that when you work in tubular even count peyote, you will make that step up at the end of each round - this will also help you keep your place.
