more adventures in bead crochet




another portable crochet project, perfect for enjoying the craft during the heat of summer!






after some experimentation with different cord types and bead sizes, i've decided i prefer the heavy-duty polyester topstitching thread with #11 seed beads. these beads are usually the smallest you can find at the craft store.
i used a 1.5mm hook with the polyester thread


#8 seed beads and #10 cotton crochet
thread worked in 6sc around
with 2.0 mm hook

although the patterns are simple (sc in rounds, 1 bead per sc), the technique requires patience and attention to detail. not for the faint-hearted!
