For the peyote wave bracelet: Step 1. String on an even amount of delica beads in color A and peyote stitch for 5 rows. Step 2. Stitch 2 rows using color B delicas Step 3. Stitch 2 rows using size 8 beads in color C Step 4. Stitch 2 rows with size 6 beads in color D and 1 row with size 6 bead in color E. At this point you are going to start stepping back down in your bead size again. Step 5. Stich 2 rows of size 6 bead color D Step 6. Stitch 2 rows using size 8 bead in color C Step 7. Stitch 2 rows with delica color B Step 8. Stitch 2 rows with delica color A Make sure that you pull your tension tight. Going from large to small beads and keeping tight tension will cause the wave or curve that you get in your cuff. Continue to do peyote stitch alternating from delicas, to size 8, size 6 and then back to size 8 and delica again until you have reached the desired cuff length.
