MakeBead

Free Brick Stitch Pattern Maker

Turn a motif, logo, or pixel design into a brick stitch chart you can bead straight from the page — the technique behind most beaded earrings. Upload an image and MakeBead matches every bead to a Miyuki Delica color, draws the chart with the true brick-wall stagger, and writes the rows out with a ladder-stitch base line and bead counts by Delica code. Check the finished size, click any bead to change it, and export a printable PDF.

機能紹介

True Brick Geometry

Alternate rows sit half a bead over, exactly like a brick wall — on screen, in the PNG, and in the PDF. What you chart is what you stitch.

Ladder Base + Written Rows

The written instructions start with the ladder-stitch base row, then list every row's beads in working order (back and forth), by Delica code.

Miyuki Delica Colors

Every bead is matched to a curated Miyuki Delica 11/0 (DB) palette — your pattern doubles as a shopping list of real tubes.

Earring-Ready Sizes

Brick stitch is the earring technique: keep charts small, check the finished size in inches/cm at Delica gauge, and print multiple to a page.

Editable Bead Chart

Click or drag across beads to fix stray pixels or recolor a section — bead counts and written rows update instantly.

Printable PDF

Download a print-ready PDF with the staggered chart, Delica legend with per-tube bead counts, and the written rows. Free, no sign-up.

What Is Brick Stitch?

Brick stitch is an off-loom bead-weaving technique where each row of beads is attached to the thread loops of the row below, so alternate rows sit offset by half a bead — like courses of bricks in a wall. It is sturdy, holds crisp shapes, and increases and decreases cleanly at the edges, which is why it is the default technique for beaded fringe earrings and small motifs.

A brick stitch chart is read row by row: row 1 is a ladder-stitch base, and every following row is worked back and forth, one bead into each loop. Because of the stagger, a plain square grid misleads — the chart needs the true brick offset to show how diagonals and curves will actually bead up.

Brick stitch is peyote stitch rotated 90° — the same fabric worked from a different edge, so if you know one you nearly know the other. For straight-grid work on a loom, use the bead loom pattern maker. All three tools share the same Miyuki Delica palette.

よくある質問

How do I turn a picture into a brick stitch pattern?

Upload the image, set the width in beads and how many Delica colors to use, and MakeBead builds the brick-staggered chart plus written rows. Small, high-contrast motifs — hearts, flowers, flags, fruit — convert best for earrings.

How do I start a brick stitch piece?

With a ladder-stitch base: the written instructions open with the base row (its beads and colors in order), and every following row brick-stitches into the thread loops of the row below, working back and forth. The arrows show each row's direction.

Is this good for beaded earrings?

Yes — that is brick stitch's home turf. Keep the chart in the 15–30 bead range, mirror or repeat it for a pair, and add fringe from the bottom row. The finished-size line tells you the exact dimensions at Delica gauge.

What beads should I use?

The palette is a curated Miyuki Delica 11/0 (DB codes) selection — cylinder beads that lock into an even, flat fabric. The materials list counts beads per DB code and converts them into tubes.

Brick stitch or peyote — which should I use?

They produce the same fabric rotated 90°. Brick stitch starts from a ladder and shapes cleanly at row edges (earrings, triangles); peyote works flat bands fastest (bracelets, wraps). This site has a dedicated tool for each, sharing the same Delica palette.

How do increases and decreases work?

This tool charts rectangular grids; classic earring triangles are made by decreasing one bead at each row edge — work the chart rows and skip the outermost loop where your shape narrows. Charting non-rectangular outlines is on the roadmap.

Can I edit the pattern after converting?

Yes — open Edit Pattern and click or drag across beads to repaint, erase, flood-fill, or swap all beads of one color. The written rows and bead counts update as you edit.

What size will the finished piece be?

Enter your gauge (the default matches Delica 11/0 laid brick-wise) and the finished-size line shows width and height in inches and centimeters, updating as you resize the chart.

Why does my chart have a different row count than the image?

Beads lying brick-wise are wider than they are tall, so the chart generates with proportionally more rows — that way the finished beadwork keeps the image's true proportions instead of coming out squashed.

Is the brick stitch pattern maker free?

Yes, completely free. No sign-up needed — convert images and export unlimited brick stitch patterns.
