Beading Tutorial: Dutch Spiral Rope

T R A N S L AT E
Vlj sprk

Beaded ropes and spiral patterns go together like

turquoise and coral, but we always seem to stick with
the most obvious stitches. Tubular peyote and twisted
herringbone get a lot of time in the spotlight, which
means that other really fun techniques often get
overlooked. Russian spiral is one neglected stitch that
weve already covered. Today, were going to visit its
neighbor, Dutch spiral.
Another variation of peyote stitch, Dutch spiral is
worked with three sections, each with a different bead
color or type. Its a lot easier to get started if youre
already comfortable with tubular peyote or flat peyote,
and it helps to think of it as peyote with an increase or
bridge. Essentially, it increases the number of beads picked up during the final stitch, to create a loose section of
beads. Because tubular peyote has a natural spiral shape, this extra section curves around the beadwork.
For a basic rope, youll need size 8/o seed beads, and 11/os in two colors. You can also use Delicas in the peyote
section for a stronger contrast between the spiral and the core of the beadwork.
To Weave a Dutch Spiral Rope
Pick up an 8/o seed bead on a comfortable length of thread, and slide it down to the end, leaving an 8 inch tail.
Stitch back through the bead again and pull snug to lock it in place.

Pick up one 11/o peyote bead, and pass through the next bead in the ring. Do not skip any beads here, the way you
would with a regular tubular peyote start. Pull snug, and add another peyote bead to the next one in the ring.

Add one 8/o bead with peyote stitch, stitching through the raised bead from the previous round, and repeat with
your core color for the next two raised bead. Just as with tubular peyote, you always pick up the same bead as the
type your thread is exiting. To finish the round, add one peyote bead, and three or more spiral beads. Always
remember to pick up one bead for the core before adding your spiral beads, to keep the core growing in the spiral
pattern.

Continue stitching in this sequence, increasing the number of beads in the spiral section as desired. For a
symmetrical rope, decrease in the same pattern when you reach the center point of your design. You can add or
subtract beads from your spiral pattern gradually, or one with every row, creating very different looks. The fewer
beads you have in the spiral section, the tighter the rope will appear. More beads create a fringy swag look with lots
of space between the rows. Either way, Dutch spiral is always softer and slinkier than regular tubular peyote, even
when using stiff threads like Fireline.

One of the best things about Dutch spiral is that you can add almost any kind of accent bead to your rope - because
the spiral section is loose, theres more room for embellishing. Drops are a favorite, but almost any shape or style of
bead will do. Longer spiral sections make room for bugles, and you can even incorporate focal beads right into the
rope at the center point. Drops, daggers, or magatamas can also replace the 8/o beads for a really textured rope.
