This is a peyote stitch digital pattern on how to make a beaded 3D Kaleidocycle. This beading pattern is made using the peyote stitch. The digital pattern gives you the complete list of the Delica bead colors I used, along with a list of how many beads are needed for this project. A kaleidocycle consists of 4 designs. You will make 6 triangles of each design. The 4 PDFS downloads include a word chart and pictures for each of the triangles as well as a generic tutorial with pictures on how to make the triangles, read a word chart, and how to assemble a Kaleidocycle. I recommend having experience in doing the peyote stitch before doing this project. The Triangles are 12 rows.
This is a Digital pattern only. No beads included, only a digital pattern.

The triangle patterns are nice, colorful designs. But the problems started with the letters/colors list being out of alphabetical order. It took me way too long to figure out what was wrong with my triangles, why they didn't look like the picture. You're given several files to open up but none of them actually specifically tell you what to do for connector beads and assembly/which colors to use for hinges, etc. The directions are too generalized and not specific to the pattern that you buy, so the diagrams aren't really helpful. Even though the pattern says to message the seller for help, I shouldn't have to message them for details on how to complete the project, the instructions should be clear and complete in the first place, especially at the price paid for this pattern. Only buy this pattern if you've made one before.

Very well written instructions, which is a hard thing to do. The images are clear and precise. A winner!
