Bead pattern size calculator for loom, peyote, and brick stitch

Know the grid size but not the finished dimensions? Enter rows and columns, choose a technique and bead, and estimate the width and length of the beadwork in centimeters.

Reference values: Preciosa, Miyuki, TOHO (sizes) and Bobby Bead (TOHO weight estimates).

Pattern size questions

From chart cells to finished centimeters

Width uses the estimated spacing of beads along a row. Loom length uses bead diameter per row. Peyote and brick stitch use an approximate 75% row pitch to account for staggered rows, with a half-bead allowance at the widest edge. Tension and bead shape can change real measurements; make a small swatch for a fitted piece.

Example: a 20 × 100 loom pattern
With Miyuki Delica 11/0, 20 columns are about 2.6 cm wide and 100 rows are about 16 cm long before findings or fringe.

How big will my bead loom pattern be?

Multiply the number of columns by bead spacing for width and the number of rows by bead diameter for length. Select your bead above to calculate both dimensions in centimeters.

Why is peyote different from loom?

Peyote and brick stitch stagger alternate rows, so their rows nest together instead of lining up like a loom grid. The calculator applies a simple staggered-row estimate, but the exact result depends on tension.
