Bead Crochet Tutorial
This tutorial is based on a pattern found here and assumes you are familiar with the basics of crochet.
Needed:
Size E (3.5 mm) aluminum hook
32 gauge wire
Memory wire (bracelet size)
Beads of choice (enough to make it around you wrist once strung)
1. String desired number of beads onto wire. Note: At least one bead will equal one crochet chain, but feel free to add extra beads in order to have two or three beads in each single chain (smaller beads work better for this).
2. Begin making a crochet chain, pulling one bead down to your hook and using the wire above it to pull through (remember to do this a bit looser than you would normally).
3. Continue your crochet chain until you are out of beads.
4. When you have completed your chain, chain one more and turn. Single crochet across the row, only on the back post and keeping each loop on the hook rather than pulling through.
5. Bind your wire at the end and weave it in. Next, cut a piece of memory wire to fit, and slide the wire through the loops left on your crochet hook. Fasten off the ends of the memory wire by either using an end bead, or by forming a small loop using pliers.
