Wrap a Rock with Flat Round Peyote Stitch

Now we need to fill in the gaps between the two pieces. The gaps look somewhat like the next illustration, though often not so regular. We will fill them with flat peyote. Begin at one edge and work across.

When you get to the other edge you need to get your thread in position to go back the other way. You can either go through the connection bead next door and come back through the bead above it, or you can thread your needle under the thread between the two connection beads and back through your original bead. Use which ever method works best for the position your bead is in. Depending on the shape of your rock, you may have to increase of decrease (or both) to fill the gap completely.
