Comanche

Peyote

Hole Orientation

Looks like Brick and is sometimes

called the "Other" Brick stitch.

Beads are woven together by

weaving through the beads (not

the loops of thread).

A BRICK graph page is turned 90

degrees (Landscape vs Portrait).

Beads are woven together by

weaving through beads.

Color graphs set up for Brick can be stitched using the Comanche Stitch (the weaving

technique is different not the graph layout). Brick or Comanche color graphs can be

rotated 90 degrees and the pattern can then stitched using the Peyote Stitch. Peyote

graphs can be rotated 90 degrees and the Brick stitch can be used.

Word Charts/Word Maps can not be adjusted in the same manner. Word

Maps/Word charts are words/text describing which and how many beads to pick up

when using a specific stitch.
