Brick stitch
Each row sits half a bead across from the one beneath it, the way bricks sit in a wall. The chart keeps that offset, so a triangle or a fringe edge is drawn as it will hang.
Brick and peyote are the same lattice turned ninety degrees, so a peyote chart can be worked in brick by turning it. The editor keeps both offsets exact, and a row count in brick is the row count you stitch, which matters for earrings and pendants that start from a ladder row.

Rows alternate direction, following the turn at the end of each brick row.
