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.

기능
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.

자주 묻는 질문
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? ▾
