Tubular Peyote (aka: Round peyote, Circle peyote, Gourd stitch)
String on a stop bead.
String the number of beads needed to form the circle. Push beads up to the stop bead and run needle through the first bead to form the circle. This circle will form the first 2 rows of the bead work,
Work the rows, as you would flat peyote by stringing a bead and running through the second bead from the thread. When you arrive at the end of the row, work a Step up by running through the beads until your needle exits of the first bead of the row.
