Free Miyuki Pattern Maker

Turn a photo, motif, or logo into a Miyuki Delica bead pattern you can shop for by DB code. This page runs the peyote tool — upload an image and get a true staggered chart, a word chart with rows 1&2 strung together, per-tube bead counts, and a printable PDF. Weaving on a loom, or making brick stitch earrings instead? The same Delica palette powers dedicated tools for each — pick your geometry below.

Real Miyuki DB Codes

Every bead is matched to a curated Miyuki Delica 11/0 palette and labeled with its DB code — the pattern doubles as your shopping list, tube by tube.

Three Geometries, One Palette

Peyote (staggered columns — this page), brick stitch (staggered rows, earrings), and loom (straight grid). Same Delica colors everywhere; pick the tool that matches how you bead.

Word Chart & Written Rows

Peyote patterns come with the standard word chart (rows 1&2 strung, then bead counts per row); brick and loom get row-by-row instructions. Follow tube-in-hand, no counting off the chart.

True Bead Geometry

Charts render with the real half-bead stagger (or straight loom grid) so diagonals and curves look on paper the way they bead up on thread.

Per-Tube Bead Counts

The materials list totals every DB code and converts it into tubes, with a cost estimate — know what to order before you start.

What Are Miyuki Delica Beads?

Miyuki Delica are precision-made Japanese cylinder beads — uniform in size and shape, with big holes and thin walls. In the standard 11/0 size they lock together into a smooth, even fabric, which is why Delica (DB) codes are the lingua franca of modern bead weaving: patterns, kits, and stashes are all organized by them.

The same Delica tube works across every weaving technique; what changes is the geometry. Peyote staggers alternate columns half a bead; brick stitch staggers alternate rows; loom weaving keeps a straight grid. A pattern maker has to chart the geometry you will actually stitch — a square grid for a peyote piece reads wrong.

Pick your technique: the peyote pattern maker (bracelets, cuffs, wraps — this page runs it), the brick stitch pattern maker (beaded earrings and shaped motifs), or the bead loom pattern maker (straight-grid loom weaving). All three convert any photo to Delica colors.

Perguntas Frequentes

How do I make a Miyuki bead pattern from a photo?

Upload the photo, choose the width in beads and how many Delica colors to allow, and the tool builds a color-matched chart with DB codes, written instructions, and per-tube counts. Export the PDF and order the tubes on the legend.

Which Miyuki beads does this use?

A curated Miyuki Delica 11/0 palette with real DB codes. Delica 11/0 is the standard for peyote, brick stitch, and loom work; check tubes against a physical color card for exact shades — dyed and galvanized finishes vary.

Peyote, brick stitch, or loom — which tool do I need?

Peyote for flat bands worked bead-by-bead (bracelets, pen wraps); brick stitch for earrings and shaped motifs built from a ladder base; loom for straight-grid work on a beading loom. Each has a dedicated tool here, and they all share the same Delica palette.

How many beads and tubes will I need?

The materials list counts every DB code in your pattern and converts the totals into tubes with an estimated cost, so you can order everything before you start.

Do the charts show real bead placement?

Yes — peyote charts render with staggered columns, brick charts with staggered rows, and loom charts on a straight grid with warp threads. What you print matches what you weave.

Can I make a Miyuki bracelet pattern?

Yes — that is the peyote tool's main job (this page). Set the width in columns, check the finished band size at Delica gauge, and follow the word chart row by row.

Can I edit the generated pattern?

Yes — open Edit Pattern and click or drag across beads to repaint, erase, or swap colors; the counts and written instructions update live.

Is this Miyuki pattern maker free?

Yes, completely free, no sign-up — convert images and export unlimited Delica patterns in any of the three geometries.
