I have been using size 10 crochet cotton to make beaded crochet ropes. It works very well for ropes with a circumference of 6, but ropes with an 8 circumference are a bit stiff. I wondered if using a finer thread would be better. I found this
pattern on Pinterest, saved from m.vk.com, which is 8 around. Using size 20 thread it's definitely more flexible, curves round to make a bangle much better than the ones using size 10 thread So, I've learnt something!
Lovely bangle! I like how the motif pops up with the various bead sizes.
ReplyDeleteI bought a few patterns on Ravelry for beaded crochet jewels; the designer advises to use size 20 thread for all her patterns. But I didn't think it had an impact on flexibility, I thought it was just to make stringing the beads easier than with size 10!!!! There, we've both learnt something ;)
Oh, that's interesting. That's what comes from my learning through trial and error!
DeleteThat is so pretty! I have directions, so I will get around to trying this some day.
