Peyote, two-drop
Work two-drop peyote stitch just like
peyote stitch, but treat every pair of

Figure 32: Start with an even number
of beads divisible by four. Go through
the first 2 beads. Pick up two beads
(stitch 1 of row 3), skip two beads, and
go through the next two beads. For oddcount turns, see Figures 19 and 20.

Figure 36: Pick up three beads and sew
back through #6 and the first two new
