The Mississipi weave is a Peyote weave + herringbone weave. The herringbone weave allows to create one or more angles to the weave. We obtain a herringbone or arrow weave. This weaving can be used to make bracelets with clasps or bangles/jigs without clasps. We had already presented this technique in video for two other models of bracelets. Don't hesitate to have a look at it:
The weaving starts like a Peyote weaving. We thread the first two rows of beads. Then we continue in Odd Peyote. However, at the corner, here in the center, you will have to add 2 beads instead of 1 in peyote and not "skip" any bead for the addition. This will create the angle in the center. On each side of this angle, we have a peyote weave that is on the bias.
Cut a 1.5 m thread, thread it onto a needle and string the following beads.
Start the peyote weave by threading a pale turquoise bead and passing through the bead as shown in the diagram.
Continue the Peyote weave, then between the two pale turquoise beads in the center, add a 15/0 seed bead. If you have decided not to use 15/0 seed beads, then weave directly into the two pale turquoise beads without adding any beads.
Continue to follow the weaving pattern and come out of the golden bead shown in the diagram.
Weave the new row. In the centre, add 1 pale turquoise bead, 1 seed bead 15/0 and 1 pale turquoise bead.
On the right, go through the indicated beads to turn around and place yourself in the right direction and in the right bead to continue weaving. From now on, you will need to turn around in the beads on each side with each new row. Continue to follow the pattern and stop weaving when the bracelet is approximately around your wrist.
To finish, not the tip but the other end of the bracelet, add 1 row of gold beads and add a seed bead between the two center beads if there is none. The picture does not show exactly the same beads as on the beginning of the diagram.
Add 2 golden Brick stitch beads on top.
Make a second row of gold beads and connect the two gold beads from the previous row to the center.
Add 2 golden Brick stitch beads on the other top. Catch the thread in the weave and cut it.
Add a thin ring like this.
Also finish the other side with two strands of gold beads and a gold top bead. Put a ring through this bead and add a clasp.
