Media Press Crochet: Bead Necklace {Pattern & Tutorial}
Remember the promise I made at the introduction section of Johanna’s guest post? After being inspired by her crochet lace bead, I decided to make a fully covered bead with crochet cotton thread, string them up to become an elegant necklace. You can get the tutorial and crochet pattern below.
This necklace is a great gift to female friends and relatives. Choose her favorite color and make one for her especially this gifting season
Browse through the above photo gallery to find the necklace in other colors. Notice the ribbon flower on my right? I guest posted the tutorial on Ana’s blog, PBF Collection, click here to go direct to the how-to.Time really flies like rocket!!! Just realized that it has been 2 months since Johanna guest posted the crochet charm tutorial, I feel like it was just yesterday, OMG!!! Now, it is November, my favorite year end has arrived. I am dying for shopping for Christmas and especially enjoy the atmosphere when I walk into a shopping mall and listen to the lovely Christmas carols. This year, I am able to put up my Christmas tree (my little one is 2 now, YAY!!!), can’t wait to decorate it and don’t have to worry that he will pull the whole tree down.

Get the above materials and tools ready. For light color thread, use light color beads like white or beige. Use black beads for dark color thread.
Make sl knot, leave a length of about 3-4 inches tail.
Follow the pattern and crochet with snugly tight tension. Tuck in the bead into the crochet shell when it says “insert bead”.
Continue crochet until the end.
Fasten off with a 3-4″ end.
Use a tapestry needle to insert the start tail through the hole and come out from the other side.
You have 2 ends on one side. Tie them into knot firmly.
Bring both ends back to the start end by using a tapestry needle.
Clip threads close to the bead. The thread ends are thus hidden inside the bead.
Repeat to all the beads.

String all the beads up by sliding the ribbon through the holes using a tapestry, with 5 bigger beads at the center and 3 smaller beads on each side.
If you like to space the beads in between, tie a big knot on the ribbon in between the beads.
Measure the length you want for your necklace. Cut away the excess.
Finally attach the jump ring and necklace clasp at the end of the ribbon.
As an option, you can also leave the tail ends long and tie into a ribbon instead of installing the clasp.
Here there is, the complete crochet bead necklace with the ribbon flower.
I went out for a cup of coffee with it, how about you?
Enjoy your day!!!!

It is very simple and nice tutorial.The bead necklace looks truly amazing and beautiful.Thanx for sharing.
So cute! I’m a mediocre ‘hooker’ and I’m in the middle of trying the 20 MM bead. But am having trouble at r10. I don’t understand the *2sc in first st* repeat 8 times. Does this mean to sc in each stitch around? If that’s the case, then how does it get reduced to 8 stitches? I have 16 stitches at this point and am only about halfway around the bead. Am I totally missing something? Thanks for any help!
Great idea i have one doubt what is MM-move marker means
Marker is an accessory, it’s like a safety pin for you to hook on the first stitch of every round of crochet stitches. So, when it states MM, means that you take your marker out and pin it to the beginning stitch of the next round.
