Mastering the crochet technique, you can create not only interior items or clothing, but also jewelry such as earrings, beads and bracelets. Also, knowing how to crochet a bead, it is quite easy to make an accessory for children under one year old. Modern mothers really value babywearing beads because they attract the attention of babies (who don’t mind holding on to their mother’s hair or earrings), and also contribute to the development of fine motor skills of their fingers.

Which yarn to choose for tying beads

In order for the finished product to be neat, it must be very dense. Beads that are tied with a thin thread look best, then the columns come out absolutely identical, even and small. Large and rough elements only spoil the appearance of jewelry and make it sloppy.

Before crocheting a bead, you should carefully consider the design of the future product: the color scheme, the location of individual elements, their size and shape.

In accordance with the decision made, you need to purchase material of the required color and composition. Knowing the algorithm for how to crochet a bead, you can use cotton or viscose thread. Fine wool, angora and mohair are also suitable. Their thickness should be at least 400 m per 100 grams, and preferably 500-600 m per 100 grams. Many craftswomen find it extremely difficult to work with such a thin thread, but this material is just right for beads. And the work takes little time, so you won’t have to endure it for long.

How to choose a base for tying

When it comes to creating jewelry, handles for bags or interior items, you can safely use any beads that you have on hand. However, recommendations on how to crochet a bead for a sling bead must include a clause about the composition of the base. These should be beads made of juniper, pine or other wood. Only wooden beads that are not painted or varnished are suitable for making children's accessories. It's no secret that kids want to taste everything they see, so you should take care of their safety.

How to crochet a bead: master class

It should be noted that there is no universal description for tying a bead. The number of rows and columns depends on the size of the warp and the thickness of the thread, but several general patterns can be identified:

• The beginning is always a ring of air loops (VP), then only single crochets (SC) are used.
• Then the canvas expands (adding columns).
• A flat area is knitted.
• The canvas tapers (abbreviation StBN).

1. 6 StBN.
2. 1 VP, 12 SC (double each SC of the previous row).
3. 1 ch, 1 sc, 2 sc (double every other sc).
4. 1 ch, 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc (double every third sc).
5. Knit rows 5-8 evenly.
6. In the 9th, reduce 6 scbn in six sections of the row.
7. Knit the 10th evenly. At this stage, you should put a bead inside the knitted cover and then “wall up” it inside the fabric.
8. Perform rows 11-12, evenly cutting 6 stbn.

At the end, the remaining hole is tightened with thread or sewn up with a needle. The tail is pulled into the fabric with a hook and the excess is cut off. The required beads are strung in the intended order using a long needle. You can also make a necklace by attaching each bead to a separate pin with loops on both ends.

Alternative method

If you need to make a long chain of tied beads, you can use the following technique:

This method is good for creating sling beads and bag handles.

What else do you need for jewelry?

Ready-made tied beads can be the only elements of decoration, for example, beads strung on a strong thread without a clasp. However, more often they are used in combination with other components:

• Accessories (earms, metal rings, locks and fasteners).
• Plastic, glass and wooden beads.
• Natural stones (faceted beads and chips).

To assemble jewelry, you cannot do without a needle with a narrow but long eye, pliers, wire cutters and round nose pliers.

Dear needlewomen! The step-by-step master class that we bring to your attention today contains a detailed diagram of crocheting a bead. This technique allows you to create unique jewelry elements that cannot be found in any store.

Tools and materials Time: 10 minutes Difficulty: 2/10

• hook;
• threads (it is better to use natural cotton, as it holds its shape well):
• wooden bead of any diameter.

Step-by-step instruction

You won’t need much time to tie a bead using a crochet hook and regular thread. A step-by-step master class will make the work clear, and the finished beads can be used as a bright element of jewelry in combination with other materials.

A few words about how to choose a hook for work, and for this you first need to decide on the threads. As a rule, on the packaging of each skein there are instructions regarding the recommended size of knitting needles and hook for working with this particular thread. Therefore, pay attention to the yarn you buy.

For the first experiment, it is better not to take small beads and thin thread. Once you understand the principle, you can start experimenting with sizes.

Step 1: cast on loops

It all starts with casting on stitches for the first center circle. It is formed not with the help of air loops (as is usually the case), but is typed directly with single crochets. The entire product is knitted using these stitches.

For the initial set of loops, we fold the end of the thread into two or three folds. Then we begin to tie this twist with single crochets, using the thread as a base. In total, we will need 6 such columns for the circle, after which we connect them into a circle with a connecting loop (there may be more initial loops, the number depends on the diameter of the bead and the thickness of the thread itself, the main thing is that there is not too large a hole in the center of the circle).

Step 2: forming columns

Next, we begin to form columns row by row, making even increments so that the result is a small pancake. When the diameter of the pancake is slightly smaller than the diameter of the bead, you can stop making decreases. We knit several rows without increasing, and you will see how the shape of the pancake begins to round out.

We knit this way until about the middle of the bead (we periodically try it on for our binding so as not to make a mistake with the sizes).

Step 3: make decreases

After half the ball is ready, you can form rows with uniform decreases. how to do this is shown in great detail on the step-by-step diagram of crocheting beads.

When the bead is completely hidden in the rows of the binding, we form a knot, but do not cut the thread yet. You need to leave a fairly long tail. We pull it through the hole of the bead, where we form knots again. After this, the thread can be cut completely.

Master class: How to crochet a bead.

Yarn: optional. I use Iris or Narcissus.
“Iris” is a thinner yarn than “Narcissus”, which is why it takes longer to knit with it.

Hook: selected according to the yarn. I have number 1.5.

Bead: wooden or plastic. I have a plastic bead with a diameter of 2 cm.

Make a ring of thread.
1st row: In the middle of the ring, knit 6 single crochets.

Tighten the ring by pulling the non-working end of the thread.

Next, knit in a spiral, i.e. without connecting loops and without lifting loops.

2nd row: In each column, knit 2 single crochets

3rd row: in every second column 2 single crochets
(in one arch - 1 single crochet, in the second - 2 single crochets).

4th row: in every third column, 2 single crochets.

Let's try it on the ball.
The diameter of the connected circle should be a couple of mm larger than the diameter of the ball.

If the diameter of the circle is sufficient, then we begin to knit rows without increments,
those. in one arch we knit 1 single crochet.

(If the diameter of the circle is insufficient, then we continue to knit according to the pattern of 4 rows
until we get the required diameter.)

Let's try on the ball.
If the cup for the ball is sufficient, insert the ball and begin to decrease the loops.

We knit through one column.
Those. We knit a single crochet into one arch, * we skip the next arch,
in one arch - 1 single crochet, in the next one arch - 1 single crochet *.
Repeat from * to *.

When the ball is completely tied, pull the thread into the last loop and tighten.

We hide the ends of the threads inside the ball.

The bead is ready!

It often happens that there is no jewelry to match a new outfit. The thought arises: “Shouldn’t I make such a decoration with my own hands?” You start going to handicraft stores and looking for beads and accessories of the required color. I very often come across a situation where I can’t find beads of the required color. This is where beads tied with yarn can help out. The color range of “Irisa” alone is very large and you can always choose the yarn of the required color. But for tying beads you can use other yarn: with the addition of lurex, shaped with knots, sectional dyeing, “grass”, etc. You can create melange compositions of the required color yourself by connecting two threads of different colors or shades.

Examples of where you can use a yarn-tied bead:
Bracelets:
"Spring"
"The sea is agitated once..."
"Tenderness"

Crochet beads are very often used by needlewomen when making jewelry. We will learn how to knit such beads right now.

Summer has already left us with less than 20% of its time at our disposal. This means that you need to have time to fully enjoy and absorb its warmth, colors, mood and the opportunities that it brings with it. So warm and sunny greetings to everyone! And let's all go to the beach. Have you already been to the sea this summer? Personally, I don't. Well, maybe then not at sea, but on a river or lake? On the pond, after all!

In general, if you haven’t been anywhere yet, but really want to, then urgently, we’ll finish it right now, no, we’ll drop everything we’re doing (you’ll never redo them anyway) and run with your family somewhere to the water and water-sun baths. I'm already on my way. And you? Are you not? It's a pity. Well then, while I’m swimming, here’s a new master class for you. Crochet beads. Knit a few pieces, and then I will come, check and decide what to do with them next.

So, our task for today is to learn how to crochet beads, and a little further (in one of the next master classes) we will create beautiful beauty from these beads. I won’t tell you which one yet - it’s a secret (in fact, I just haven’t thought of it yet).

Today I will also share with you how you can dye yarn in the color you want at home. And in conclusion, I’ll tell you a little about what this summer brought to me and my family. Most likely not even for me personally, but for my husband. But it doesn’t matter - we are family. So we have everything in common. And that means this concerns me too. But more on that below. Now let's discuss how to tie beads.

Crochet beads. Description and video

In order to crochet beads, we will need:

• beads
• hook
• yarn

So, we have prepared everything we need. Let's get to work. Today I will knit from yarn of a beautiful milky blue color with the addition of bright turquoise Lurex thread, since the product to which this decoration is knitted has a deep blue color. A little later I will add some contrasting or intermediate color to it for greater expressiveness. But this is not today.

First, let's decide on the choice of hook number. The two ways this can be done were discussed in detail in this article about knitting rules. Since my yarn is quite thick (compared to a sundress), I took a two and was not mistaken. In this case, the size really matters, since you will have to knit quite tightly and the knitting should envelop our bead very tightly, without unnecessary holes. So that in the end the binding on it looks neat and even.

The first thing we do is secure the free end of the thread in the palm of our hand with our thumb, throw the working end over the index and middle fingers twice and remove the resulting ring. The result is a loop like this, with which we will begin work.

Holding the ring at the intersection of the working thread and its free end with the index and thumb of the left hand, we pierce our ring with a hook in the right hand and change its position. Those. insert the hook and, with the index finger of your right hand, press from above the place where the free end of the thread and the working thread itself intersect.

Now all the most important and necessary for further operation of crocheting beads is in our strong and confident right hand. And we release our left hand. Let him rest.

I'm kidding, of course. It's too early to rest. With our left hand we pick up the working thread, throwing it over the index finger and actually now we have everything as usual when crocheting - in the right hand the hook and knitting, in the left - the working thread.

We begin to knit the beginning of the bead. To do this, grab the working thread with a hook and bring it through the ring. We grab the working thread again and bring it through the resulting loop on the hook. Our first loop is knitted. We knit three more exactly the same, each time inserting the hook into the large initial loop under two threads.

Having knitted 4 single crochets in this way, we pull the free end of the thread all the way and thus tighten our large ring into a small circle consisting of the first four single crochets. Congratulations! Our first, most tricky row is finished!
The next row we knit two single crochets into each of the loops of the previous row.

Small but very useful advice. For convenience, we will make a mark with a thread of a contrasting color so that you can see where each of the rows of the circle begins and ends. We simply thread a small piece of bobbin thread through the edge of the knitted circle and that’s it. The tag is ready.

We perform the next row in this way. In the first loop of the previous row we knit one single crochet. And in the second we knit two single crochets. And alternate in this way until the end of the row. The second row is ready.

Depending on the diameter of the beads you chose, you may need to knit 1 or 2 more similar rows for expansion, only according to the following pattern: 2 (3) single crochets in the first 2 (3) loops of the previous row and 2 single crochets yarn over into the 3rd (4th) loop of the previous row.

Since the diameter of my beads is only 9-10 mm, what we have already knitted is quite enough for me. Therefore, I knit the next row (in my case, the 3rd row) in this way: one stitch at a time without Yarn over each of the loops of the previous row.

We try on our binding on a bead and see that in addition you can knit another exactly the same row. We knit the 4th row: one single crochet in each loop of the previous row.

Now the size of the binding is sufficient and we pull it onto the bead. All we have left is to knit the rows in descending order and the knitted bead will be ready.

In descending order, the bead is tied as follows: in the first loop we knit one single crochet. From the next two we knit one single crochet. Those. insert the hook into one (second) loop and grab the working thread. Without knitting it, insert the hook into the next (third) loop and grab the working thread again. And now we grab the working thread again and knit all three loops located on our hook. In this way we knit the entire 5th row.

For the 6th row we knit one single crochet in every two loops of the previous row. And we are left with a very small area of ​​3-4 loops, which we close by pulling a knot with a cut working thread through it.

That's all. We have just crocheted a bead for you. All that remains is to hide the cut tail from the working thread. We simply thread it through the bead using a hook and cut off the excess. Ready!

As a result, after you repeat all the steps described above 10-15 times again, you will get wonderful multi-colored (or single-color, as you prefer) crocheted beads. And next time we will make something beautiful and unusual from them. What it will be I don’t know yet. Perhaps something for our kids. Some kind of jewelry - or beads or a bracelet, or maybe something else... We'll see.

In the meantime, the promised few words about how you can change the color of yarn at home. We will, of course, be talking about initially white yarn. In this photo above, the pink beads are made from just such yarn. To color it, I used a small amount of liquid handmade soap pigment. Just not food ones, but pigments. I have already had them divorced (I don’t know what exactly, I won’t tell you here)

I unwinded the required amount of yarn, dripped a certain amount of red pigment into it, squeezed it a little in my hands, thus distributing it along the entire length of the yarn, rinsed it and... voila! The yarn I got was a soft pink color. Here is such a simple, but very effective and most importantly accessible method.

By the way, if you still have any questions or it’s simply more convenient for you when everything is shown clearly and live, you can watch this video. I specially recorded it for this post and for the members of my VKontakte group.

Fine. We’ll probably finish dyeing yarn and crocheting beads for today, and in conclusion, I’ll tell you a little about what’s so interesting happened to me this summer. Well, first of all, this is my new hairstyle and my new look. I already wrote about this in my last article, when I told you about how and under what circumstances I ended up in a handicraft magazine with one of my master classes. If you haven't read it, read it - it's interesting.

Then there was a long and painstaking work in preparation for my husband’s personal photo exhibition. He is my photographer. In addition to preparing the premises and the photographs themselves, it was also necessary to find and warm up the target audience and come up with something interesting for them.

Literally half a month before the exhibition, I finally finished the super-duper brooch that I had been dreaming about since last winter. She turned out gorgeous. All passers-by look at her with all their eyes, and she is also so big! It seems far away. I'll show it to you a little later.

Well, of course, I continue to twist and twirl bouquets of candies, which I really, really like, and just a couple of days ago I finished working on a very large order. I have never made such large compositions for anyone before! In size it was 70x70 cm, can you imagine? I’ll also show you photographs of this giant miracle later. Well, we have a long-awaited trip to the sea ahead. Because summer is coming to an end, and we haven’t swam or sunbathed anywhere except on the nearest lake (and it’s an artificial one). We need to fix this!

I’ll probably even write a separate article in the style of “How I spent this summer” and there I’ll tell you in all the details and with pictures how it was. Because you can’t describe everything in just a few words, but I want to tell you a lot. Therefore, those who have not yet done so, subscribe to updates and wait for my new article by email.

Share the material with your friends on social networks, add it to your pages or bookmarks, subscribe to my newsletter with new master classes, templates, patterns, announcements about competitions and other equally interesting handicraft projects and always be positive and creatively purposeful!

I wish you creative success and a great mood!

How to crochet a bead tightly and openwork crochet. MK.

Hi all. I'll show you today how to crochet a bead. Such beads can be used in jewelry - beads, bracelets, in various decor. In this MK I'll show you how to tie a bead tightly.

So, for this we need: yarn (preferably thinner than “iris”), a bead (preferably with a diameter of 15 millimeters, because they are easier to tie. If the bead is even larger in diameter, then you can use “iris”), hook No. 1.
">

Armed, let's start knitting. We will knit in a circle in a spiral. We make a ring and tie it with 6 double crochet stitches. The row is not washed with a connecting stitch, but we immediately knit two more single crochet stitches in the first stitch - this is the second row. In it you need to double each loop = 12 loops. In the next row, double each other to make 18. In the next row, 24 and 30.

It turns out this is the bottom. The number of rows depends on the diameter of the bead and the thickness of your yarn. That is, the diameter of the bottom should be approximately equal to the diameter of the bead. When we have achieved this, we begin to knit further single crochets, but without any additions.

It turns out to be such a hat. We insert our bead into it.

And then we very carefully begin to knit, decreasing the rows and not removing the bead. First, we decrease six loops in each row (in the same way as we added), that is, we knit two double crochet stitches together = minus one loop.

We tie it in this way, decreasing until the end, until the bead is closed.

We cut the thread and carefully hide it. The bead is ready! You can make striped beads, just change the colors of the yarn while knitting. You can take already colored (melange) yarn and tie a bead with it.

Let's be patient and move forward! Crochet a bead- very painstaking work, but the result is worth it. good luck in your creativity!

We crochet the bead. Openwork version.

For tying, we will need thin yarn (the thinner the better), hook No. 1, and a bead.

First, we make a ring and knit single crochets into it. The number of stitches depends on the size of your bead. I have 12 double crochet stitches. We do not close the row with a connecting stitch, but immediately begin to knit arches from 3 chain stitches, attaching a double crochet stitch to each stitch of the previous row. Once again, I repeat that the number of arches and columns depends on the size of your bead

Place the bead into the resulting hat and continue knitting the arches further.
