Crochet Beaded Bracelets

 These bracelets require the materials listed in the next step, a bit of crochet know-how, and patience!
I can finish a bracelet over a weekend, but assuming you're busier than I am, it may take more like a week or two. If the instructions could use some tweaking for more clarity, please feel free to tell me so!

Step 1: Materials Needed

 As well as the materials in the list below, you will need to know how to crochet three stitches: slip stitch (sl), chain stitch (ch), and single crochet stitch (sc). Check out www.instructables.com/id/Beginning-crochet/ and www.instructables.com/id/How-to-crochet-a-ball-or-a-hackey-sack/step3/Join-with-a-slip-stitch-to-form-a-ring/ if you don't know how to do these three stitches. :-)

Materials:

- Thread
- Small crochet hook (I used size 10)
- Two sizes of beads
     - "big" I used size 8/0
     - "small" I used size 12/0
- Scissors
- A piece of wire bent in half
- Needle (Not in the picture)

Thanks for this 'ible. Been wanting to learn this technique. Saw a necklace recently with this technique with  irregular amethyst beads -the possibilities are endless.

Kitewife likes, but is too ill to be bothered to post.

Oh, dear! What's the matter? :(

[Kiteman]

She has an excessively-phlegmy chest infection.  The antibiotics have started kicking in now, but she slept until 2pm yesterday.

She has downloaded the PDF.

[Lithium Rain]

Aww, sounds nasty. Tell her get well soon.

[Kiteman]

She is improving - her bark is foul at the moment, though.

[Lithium Rain]

Is it worse than her bite?

[Kiteman]

Haha - two nations, divided....

[kristinazero]

Well that does it.  From now on, all my projects will have beaded, crocheted straps.  Thank you!

[ChrysN]

Wow, these look great!

[hishealer]

I have all this stuff at home!  I will totally make a few today.  I bet they look great around ponytails too.  I used to make necklaces with the same materials and only slip stitches, I might post a companion 'ible.

Cool!  I've seen some people with these, and I've always wanted to know how to make them!
