How to Crochet a Beaded Chain

Learn to make a bead crocheted necklace along with Teresa @www.pumpkinglass.com in this video tutorial! Combine beading and crochet into one great jewelry making technique. Learn to make a necklace cord or multi-strand bracelet studded with beads. Adorn with charms, a pendant, or wear it alone for a great layering piece.

You will need to have the following: (see https://pumpkinglass.com/t/tools)

* minimum of 7” of beads in 3mm or 4mm size, or a minimum of 10” of beads in 6mm or larger. This quantity will make an 18” necklace.

* preferably nylon, polyester or silk cord in a size that will go through the hole of the beads (if the cord is silk, you can double it through a needle which is easier for stringing)

* for thin cord a size 6 steel crochet hook, or for heavier cord a size 1 or 2.

* a bead mat or towel so your beads don’t roll around everywhere

* hypo cement or other glue

* twisted wire collapsible eye needle if you are using silk OR bee’s wax and a lighter if you are using nylon or polyester cord

* two closed rings and a large eye, needle (like that used for needlepoint or darning) OR 2 crimpable endcaps with loops that fit your cord.
