A friend of mine asked me to make two beaded crochet bracelets for her granddaughters. Sure, be happy to. The interesting thing about the first one is that the designer, Vinjuleve, has worked to counteract the way beaded crochet spirals. In the
chart, which I found on Pinterest, looking at a specific bead will show how the pattern repeat has been staggered. In the final product, the motifs line up. Clever. The top two pictures show the two sides of the bracelet. Both bracelets have interesting side views too. The chart for the other bracelet is
here on Pinterest. The designer is Marass.
I've been wanting to try an invisible join in beaded crochet rope and this seemed like a good opportunity to give it a go. I used a
tutorial from fusion beads, which has very clear diagrams. My joins are not absolutely invisible, but not bad for a first attempt.
They're brilliant! but these I am happy to admire from afar, I would never cope with all those beads myself!
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought you were making wreaths for the door! They are quite nice and the girls are sure to like them. So pretty and the pattern on the bluish one is so intricate.

ReplyDeleteI still find it amazing that these are crocheted. Can't imagine how it gets finished off invisibly, but you've done it. Thanks for all the tutorial links. I have a ton of beads that need to 'go' somewhere! Wonderful gifts!
