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, and string them up to become an elegant Beaded Necklace. You can get the tutorial and crochet pattern after the jump.

This Beaded Necklace is a great gift to female friends and relatives. Choose her favorite color and make one for her, especially this gifting season.

Crochet Bead Necklace

Time really flies like a rocket!!! 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.

HOW TO CROCHET A BEADED NECKLACE

  1. Get the above materials and tools ready. For light color thread, use light color beads like white or beige. Use black beads for a dark color thread. bead necklace WIP
  2. 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. bead necklace WIP
  3. You have 2 ends on one side. Tie them into knot firmly. bead necklace WIP
  4. 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. bead necklace WIP
  5. Close-up photo of the beginning row of the crochet. bead necklace WIP
  6. Close-up photo of the finishing end of the crochet. bead necklace WIP
  7. 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. bead necklace WIP
  8. Measure the length you want for your beaded 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. bead necklace WIP

Hi,can you tell me how to crochet around 16mm bead? Thank you.

Craft Passion

Wednesday 26th of July 2017

Hi Jovana, The easiest way to crochet around 16mm beads is to reduce the hook size a little (1.3mm) and use the 18mm bead crochet pattern.

Hi , would like to know , do you have any ways to make the crochet necklace waterproof. I have been thinking to use nail polish but it seems to be quite a waste . Please advises. Tq

Perhaps you may use diluted mod-podge, I used it to seal the gauge of Halloween Ghost Lights.

Great idea i have one doubt what is MM-move marker means

Craft Passion

Monday 14th of May 2012

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.

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!

It's obviously a mistake. It should read *2sctog in first st*.
