Using more beads in the circumference of a crochet beaded rope gives greater scope for design. Early in my learning process I tried a pattern with a circumference of 16 beads, but soon realised that I couldn't manage it. Since then I've largely used patterns with 6 beads. But I think I'm ready to move on a bit, so yesterday I made a bracelet with a circumference of 8 beads. With more beads, the centre is hollow and the working beads tend to collapse inwards a bit, which means that you must pay more attention to make sure you're working into the correct stitch. I hope that's the secret I was looking for! I found the
pattern on Pinterest.
lovely, this one is my fav until now
ReplyDeleteI've just had a look at the pattern, it looks so complicated, maybe it isn't when you get started. You keep posting these things and I keep adding them mentally to what I would like to try.lol

Lovely combination of colours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You seem to finish these fairly quickly. Maybe I should look into this technique! ;-)
ReplyDeleteDo! They are pretty quick to make, especially the children's ones.
DeleteGreat bracelet!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like how the black band wraps around and around. Interesting pattern. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteLove this combo & design (my favourite so far too)& you are making great progress !
ReplyDeleteSee, I really do need an invite to lunch now (wink wink) ;-D
Question : is it possible to insert some sort of thick cord while working the bracelet in order to support the hollow interior ? It can be pulled out towards the end. Just a thought.
Yes, I've seen tutorials where someone works round a tube, but that seems a bit awkward to me. As long as you realise what's happening you can compensate for it.
DeleteThese look amazing. Isn't it fun to learn and try the next levels?!!
ReplyDeleteA nice pattern, well done in moving up a level!
