Susan asks…
I’m learning how to do a Peyote stitch with size 11 beads, but..?

What’s the difference between brick and peyote?
BeadGal answers:
Both of those pony bead bracelets looks like they peyote stitch. Many patterns for pony beads are peyote stitch, so you can use regular peyote bead weaving patterns with pony beads, and also, many pony bead patterns can be used with regular seed beads.
Brick stitch looks a lot like peyote, but turned sideways. It is stitched in quite a different way. Brick Stitch is somewhat stiffer than peyote, it’s a good choice for earrings and it also handles irregular shapes somewhat better than peyote. You start brick stitch with a row of ladder stitch and from there forward you “attach” the next rows of beads by looping through the thread and going through the bead again. Here’s a quick tutorial: http://www.beaditbabe.com/brick.html
