1. Pick up 28A. Make a double knot to form a circle leaving 20cm tail.
2. Go out of any A. Pick up 1A, skip one seed bead and sew through the next one as shown. We’ll do circular peyote stitch.

5. Make one more row using B.
6. And one more row with B.After adding the last B sew through 1B, 3A to go to the other side.

17. Add one more A.
18. Repeat steps 14-17 two times.
19. Sew through 3A to go out of the central row.
20. Pick up 1C, sew through 2B, 1A, 1B.
21. Pick up 1B, 1C, 1B, go through E.
22. Pick up 1B, 1C, 1B, go through 1A.
23. Then through 1A.

25. After adding last 1B, 1C, 1B go through 4A as shown.
26. Pick up 1C, sew through 4A, 1B.
27. Pick up 2A, sew through 1B, 2A.
28. Pick up 1C, go through 2A, 1B and repeat steps 27-28 two more times.
29. The last step is to go through the central 1C one more time (or better twice) to force its attachment.
30. The backside.
To hide the thread tails sew through some beads and seed beads following the thread path (and turn some times to “tangle” your thread), go to the backside and carefully cut off the thread.
