How to make a Peyote Warped Square

Julia Pretl animated the process of building a peyote-stitched Warped Square for the Contemporary Geometric Beadwork Open Source Library.
Please feel free to share as you like!
You can choose to reinforce the center start with a few passes (or a knot, if that's your style) or you can wait to do that later when you finish. If you like your squares energetic, springy and cupped, by all means make a snug start. If you like them flatter, leave the start thread loose and tighten it to your liking later before weaving in.
Weave in the starting thread and your working thread after your square is the desired size, and consider reinforcing the edge with a final pass of thread through the last two rounds if you want it to be sturdy and stand up to play.
The "step-up" (moving from one finished round to the next) is beautifully illustrated here- pay attention to the final stitch of each round - to finish each round, you pass through two beads, which puts you in position to begin the next round.

Thanks to Julia Pretl for creating this simple but powerful animation to help beginners learn the magical Warped Square/Hypar.

Very clear illustration of the thread path and where the step-up goes through 2 beads. Julia has fone a perfect job. So cool to see the warped square being born!

This is literally the most informative video I've seen on warped squares on UA-cam. Thank you!

Another terrific and clear illustration. Loved to have had this long ago. This will be so valuable for the beginners, especially. What is even better about this is it is able illustrate the 'warped' part. Not just a 'square', like you would normally see. How wonderful!

I would have loved this too when I was learning. Julia built it by hand in Illustrator for our library, I am sure it will make the road easy for many new beaders!
