Crochet

1.1

Basic Bead Crochet

Step 1
Leave the pearl cotton yarn on the spool. Thread the end through a twisted wire
needle. Twisted wire needles are flexible, and although the eye looks big, it will collapse
down when pulled through a bead. Use the needle to string all of the beads you will need for
the project. Tip: String more beads than you think you will need, since it will be impossible to
add more once youve begun to stitch.

Step 2
After you finish stringing all the beads, do NOT cut the thread. You will continue to
use thread from the spool as you crochet. Remove the twisted wire needle. Leave an 8-12-inch
tail, and make a slip knot.

Step 3

Slip the loop onto a crochet hook. Tighten the loop around the shaft of the crochet
hook.

Step 4
Slide one pre-strung bead down into position, near the slip knot, sitting toward the
back side of the crochet hook.

Step 5
Bring the yarn around the hook from the back to the front. This operation is referred to
as yarn over".

Step 6
Catch the yarn with the hook, and pull it through the loop. This completes one chain
stitch with a bead.

Step 7
Yarn over the front of the crochet hook.

Step 8
Catch the yarn with the hook, and pull it through the loop, making a second chain
stitch with no bead. Adding an empty chain stitch in between each stitch creates a more
flexible chain. Adding stitch between beads is optional, and depends on the specifics of the
pattern youre completing.

Step 9
Slide one pre-strung bead down into position, near the hook, sitting toward the back
side of the crochet hook.

Step 10
Yarn over the front of the crochet hook.

Step 11
Catch the yarn with the hook, and pull it through the loop, completing another chain
stitch with a bead.

Step 12
Yarn over the front of the crochet hook.

Step 13

Catch the yarn with the hook, and pull it through the loop, completing another chain
stitch with no bead.

Step 14
Slide one pre-strung bead down into position, near the hook, sitting toward the back
side of the crochet hook.

Step 15
Yarn over the front of the crochet hook.

Step 16
Catch the yarn with the hook, and pull it through the loop, completing another chain
stitch with a bead.

Step 17
Yarn over the front of the crochet hook.

Step 18
Catch the yarn with the hook, and pull it through the loop, completing another chain
stitch with no bead. Repeat steps 14-18 until youve reached the desired length for your chain.

Step 19
Securing the ends is known as ending off. To end off, cut your yarn, leaving an 8-12
inch tail. Slide your hook out of the last loop, and then take the end and pass it back through
that last loop.

Step 20
Pull the end through and tighten the knot. Congratulations! You have created a basic
bead crocheted chain.

1.2

Crocheted rope

Step 1
Leave the pearl cotton yarn on the spool. Thread the end through a twisted wire
needle. Twisted wire needles are flexible, and although the eye looks big, it will collapse
down when pulled through a bead. Use the needle to string all of the beads you will need for
the project.

Step 2
To help show the technique more easily, here we will show a six-bead rope, with each
bead shown in a different color. String the beads in the sequence described for your project.
Keep in mind that when the rope is woven, the beads will be arranged opposite of the way
they are strung. Tip: String more beads than you think you will need, since it will be
impossible to add more once youve begun to stitch.

Step 3

After you finish stringing all the beads, do NOT cut the thread. You will continue to
use thread from the spool as you crochet. Remove the twisted wire needle. Leave an 8-12-inch
tail, and make a slip knot. In the diagrams, the tail is shown much shorter than in reality to
prevent confusion about which end is the tail.

Step 4
Slip the loop onto a crochet hook. Tighten the loop around the shaft of the crochet
hook.

Step 5
Begin by making a chain. Since this is a six bead rope, the chain will be six beads
long. Slide one pre-strung bead down into position, near the slip knot, sitting toward the back
side of the crochet hook.

Step 6
Bring the yarn around the hook from the back to the front. This operation is referred to
as yarn over.

Step 7
Catch the yarn with the hook, and pull it through the loop. This completes one chain
stitch with a bead.

Step 8
Slide one pre-strung bead down into position, near to the hook, sitting toward the back
side of the crochet hook.

Step 9
Yarn over the front of the crochet hook.

Step 10

Catch the yarn with the hook, and pull it through the loop. This completes one chain
stitch with a bead.

Step 11
Slide one pre-strung bead down into position, near to the hook, sitting toward the back
side of the crochet hook.

Step 12
Yarn over the front of the crochet hook.

Step 13
Catch the yarn with the hook, and pull it through the loop, completing another chain
stitch with a bead.

Step 14
Repeat steps 11-13 until you have a chain of six beads. The chain will have a slight
curl.

Step 15
Leave the loop in place around the hook, and grab the tail end of the yarn. Pull it up
next to the crochet hook.

Step 16
Join the ends to form a ring by sliding the hook through the first loop of the chain next
to the tail. Push the first bead to the right of the crochet hook so the bead hole runs parallel
with the hook.

Step 17
Connect the chain into a ring. Bring the working yarn around the bead you just pushed
over the crochet hook so that it is between the first (peridot) and last (fuchsia) bead of the first
round. The yarn will cross over the hook.

Step 18
Slide a pre-strung bead (peridot) into position, so that it sits on top of the bead of the
same color in the previous row, positioned to the right of the hook. When working with a
different pattern, this bead may be a different color than the bead in the previous row. For this
tutorial, the bead will always be the same color as the bead in the previous row.

Step 19
Pull the thread through the two loops on the hook.

Step 20
Slide the hook through the next loop of the chain next under the next bead over (navy).
Push the first bead to the right of the crochet hook so the bead hole runs parallel with the
hook.

Step 21
Bring the working yarn between the first (peridot) and second (navy) bead of the first
round. The yarn will sit on top of (over) the thread loop on the hook.

Step 22
Slide a pre-strung bead (navy) into position, so that it sits on top of the bead of the
same color in the previous row, positioned to the right of the hook.

Step 23
Pull the thread through the two loops on the hook.

Step 24
Slide the hook through the next loop of the chain next under the next bead over (dark
green). Push the first bead to the right of the crochet hook so the bead hole runs parallel with
the hook.

Step 25
Bring the working yarn between the second (navy) and third (dark green) bead of the
first round. The yarn will sit on top of (over) the thread loop on the hook.

Step 26
Slide a pre-strung bead (dark green) into position, so that it sits on top of the bead of
the same color in the previous row, positioned to the right of the hook. Bring the yarn across
the front of the hook.

Step 27
Pull the thread through the two loops on the hook.

Step 28
Slide the hook through the next loop of the chain next under the next bead over
(purple). Push the first bead to the right of the crochet hook so the bead hole runs parallel with
the hook.

Step 29
Bring the working yarn between the third (dark green) and fourth (lavender) bead of
the first round. The yarn will sit on top of (over) the thread loop on the hook.

Step 30
Slide a pre-strung bead (lavender) into position, so that it sits on top of the bead of the
same color in the previous row, positioned to the right of the hook. Bring the yarn across the
front of the hook.

Step 31
Pull the thread through the two loops on the hook.

Step 32
Slide the hook through the next loop of the chain next under the next bead over
(turquoise). Push the first bead to the right of the crochet hook so the bead hole runs parallel
with the hook.

Step 33
Bring the working yarn between the fourth (lavender) and fifth (turquoise) bead of the
first round. The yarn will sit on top of (over) the yarn loop on the hook.

Step 34
Slide a pre-strung bead (turquoise) into position, so that it sits on top of the bead of the
same color in the previous row, positioned to the right of the hook. Bring the yarn across the
front of the hook.

Step 35
Pull the thread through the two loops on the hook.

Step 36
Slide the hook through the next loop of the chain next under the next bead over
(fuchsia). This is the last bead of the first round of six. Push the first bead to the right of the
crochet hook so the bead hole runs parallel with the hook.

Step 37
Bring the working yarn between the fifth (turquoise) and sixth (fuchsia) bead of the
first round. The yarn will sit on top of (over) the thread loop on the hook.

Step 38
Slide a pre-strung bead (fuchsia) into position, so that it sits on top of the bead of the
same color in the previous row, positioned to the right of the hook. Bring the yarn across the
front of the hook.

Step 39
Pull the thread through the two loops on the hook.

Step 40
To begin the third round, slide the hook through the next loop of the chain next under
the next bead over (peridot). Push the first bead to the right of the crochet hook so the bead
hole runs parallel with the hook. Repeat steps 21-39 until the chain reaches the desired length.
Make sure on each round that sequence of bead colors match the previous row.

Step 41
As you create your rope, you will notice that when you are working on a row, the
beads will sit with the holes oriented on a horizontal plain. When you add the next row, the
beads turn, so that they sit next to each other with the bead holes pointing upward.

Crocheted Rope - Invisible Join

Step 1
When the rope reaches the desired length, make sure the ends will lock together
without twisting the rope. In this case since we were using a 6 bead pattern, the last bead
added here (fuchsia) will match up with the 6th bead added at the beginning. If the ends
match up, cut the yarn, leaving an 8-inch tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to make a
knot.

Step 2
Thread a small tapestry needle on the beginning yarn tail.

Step 3
Position the beginning of the rope to the right, and the end of the rope to the left. Sew
into the center of the ending side, coming out about 1/4 inch into the rope. Pull the tail to
bring the ends together. Match up the highest bead on the beginning side with the lowest bead
on your ending side. In this case they are both the light green beads.

Step 4
Thread a small tapestry needle onto the tail on the ending side of the rope.

Step 5
Insert the needle through the first loop of the light green or first bead on the beginning
side of the rope. Pull through, bringing the needle toward you. The illustrations show a large
gap. In reality, the rope ends will be pulled close to each other.

Step 6
Working counterclockwise, insert the needle through the loop of the next bead over,
exactly where you would insert your hook if you were continuing to crochet. This will be the
same color bead as you passed through on the first side (peridot).

Step 7
Insert the needle through the next loop (navy) on the beginning side of the rope. Pull
through, bringing the needle toward you. Pulling the thread through turns and reorients the
end bead.

Step 8
Working counterclockwise, insert the needle through the loop of the next bead over,
exactly where you would insert your hook if you were continuing to crochet.

Step 9
Pull through, bringing the needle toward you. Pulling the thread through turns and
reorients the end bead. Check and make sure that the beads on the ends of the rope match, and
that the pattern, if youre using one, remains continuous.

Step 10
Stitch through the loops of the next four bead using the same technique as in the
previous steps, until all six beads are turned into place. At this point, your needle will be
coming out of the left (ending) side of the rope.

Step 11
Insert the needle into the center of the right (beginning) side of the rope. Push the
needle out through the side of the rope, about 1/4 inch down the rope, being careful not to
pass through any beads, only through loops of yarn.

Step 12
Pull the yarn through.

Step 13
To bury the yarn tails, insert the needle back into the center of the rope, continuing
away from the joined ends, working in a back and forth pattern across the rope. Push the
needle out through the side of the rope about four rows down, being careful not to pass
through any beads, only through loops of yarn.

Step 14
Pull the yarn through.

Step 15
Repeat steps 13 and 14 several more times, until youve gone about halfway through
the rope. Remove the needle, and thread it on the other yarn tail. Bury the thread tail as shown
in steps 13 and 14.

Step 16
Pull the tension very tight, and cut both yarn tails close to the rope with sharp scissors.

1.4

Crocheted Rope Clasp - Option 1

Step 1
When the rope is crocheted to the desired length, cut the yarn, leaving an 8-inch tail.
Pull the tail through the last loop to make a knot.

Step 2
String a small tapestry needle on the tail.

Step 3
Insert the needle through the left side of the yarn holding the bead, one
counterclockwise step from the knot. If you were continuing to crochet, this is the bead you
would have stitched into next. Make sure the bead is positioned to the right of the needle.

Step 4
Pull the needle all the way through. This puts the bead into the right position.

Step 5
Insert the needle through the left side of the yarn holding the next counterclockwise
bead. If you were continuing to crochet, this is the bead you would have stitched into next.
Make sure the bead is positioned to the right of the needle.

Step 6
Pull the needle all the way through. This puts the bead into the right position.

Step 7

Repeat steps 5-6 until youve repositioned all of the beads in the round.

Step 8
Insert the needle back through the left side of the yarn holding the first bead that you
repositioned, which is the last bead crocheted.

Step 9
Once youve passed back through the loop of the bead, you are ready to string your
clasp plus a bead cap, to give the rope a nicely finished end.

Step 10
String a bead cap so the wide part fits across the end of the rope, then string through
the attachment loop of a lobster claw clasp. Pass back through the cap, back toward the end of
the rope.

Step 11
Insert the needle back down the middle of the rope, and bring the needle out the side
of the rope.

Step 12
Pull the needle through, pulling the cap flush with the end of the rope.

Step 13
Insert the needle back into the center of the rope, being careful not to pass back
through any beads, but only through the stitching. The needle should come back out the hole
of the bead cap.

Step 14
Pull the needle up through the cap and the attachment loop of the lobster claw clasp.

Step 15
Repeat steps 11 and 12, bringing the needle back through the cap and a portion of the
rope, and then bringing the needle back through the rope to the outside. Pull the yarn taut.

Step 16
To bury the yarn tails, insert the needle back through the rope toward the center, then
bring it back through the side about 1/4 inch farther away from the clasp. Be careful to make
sure the needle does not go through any of the beads.

Step 17
Pull the yarn taut.

Step 18
Continue to repeat steps 16 and 17 until youve gone about halfway through the rope.
Pull the tension very tight, and cut the yarn close to the rope with sharp scissors.

Step 19
On the opposite end of the rope, repeat steps 10-15, attaching a soldered jump ring and
a bead cap to serve as the other half of the clasp. Repeat steps 16-18 to bury and terminate the
thread tails.
