Three-Piece Sunflower Pendant Beading Pattern | PDF

Create a three-piece sunflower pendant with Miyuki Delica 11/0 beads using this downloadable 38-page peyote stitch pattern. The project is rated intermediate and combines flat peyote beadwork with a zipped tubular finish.

The two outer pieces have raised yellow petals along one edge, while the center piece has both edges straight. Make all three for the full necklace design, or wear the center piece on its own for a simpler look. Each finished piece measures approximately 1.5 x 1 cm.
