Beadwork: crochet patterns

A popular now product is a bead of beads. Weaving schemes used very different from elementary monochrome, to complex with patterns and patterns. You can use the finished product both as a bracelet, and in the form of a necklace or belt. In the same way, it's easy to get a ringlet, key chain, strap for a bag or cosmetic bag and other ornaments. Everything depends on the imagination of the needlewoman.

Options and ideas

The harness from beads, weaving patterns can be chosen different. There are such variants:

• Monochrome and variegated.
• From one kind and size of beads and from several.
• With the use of beads.
• Straight smooth and unusual configuration (spiral).
• With a geometric pattern.
• With complex pictures.
• Openwork and solid.
• Round or square section.

As you can see, there are many opportunities for manifesting fantasy. The main thing is to understand the principle of working on a simple version, gain experience, then make a pattern according to the scheme or create your own design will be much easier.

Materials and Tools

You will need the following to make the bead harness:

• Weaving schemes.
• Beads.
• Hook or needle.
• Thread or line.
• Elements of fasteners.

This is the minimum set. You may also need beads, additional decor, tools for developing templates (a sheet in a cage and colored pencils or a special program on the computer - DB-bead). In addition, if the product is too large in cross section, you will have to insert a cord into it so that the tourniquet holds the mold.

Especially it should be noted that all materials must match each other in size. To make a smooth tourniquet, you need to take the same size beads. Threads are usually taken mercerized or classic cotton for knitting. To fasten or fasten the fasteners, you need to use nylon threads for beading. They are more durable and will withstand multiple buttoning-undoing. If you take beads 11/0 or 15/0, then the thread must also be synthetic for beading or sewing. Hooks are usually used from 1.3 for small beads (11/0, 15/0) to 1.75 for large material (8/0, 6/0).

First steps

So, you decided to make a tourniquet of beads. Weaving schemes for beginners should choose the simplest. First, it is worth starting with the usual cylindrical shape of the cord using beads of the same size. Secondly, it is better for the first time to try a weaving of beads of one shade or a maximum of two or three. With two colors you can string beads through one. If you do not like to count the elements of the pattern, you can arrange the beads chaotically. This applies to two- and multi-color options.

How to work the crochet

To make the tourniquet from the beads, the crochet patterns can be used different, but the principle of work will always be preserved. The sequence of work will be as follows:

1. Wrap the desired length of thread from the coil. It is usually calculated as follows: multiply the length of the product by the size of each circle by the number of beads + allow for some distance to fix the threads and start work. If required, it will be possible to add both the length of the thread and the beads.
2. String all the beads in the desired sequence on the thread, so that you get a patterned plait of beads. Schemes of braiding a crochet or a needle are usually presented in the form of strips consisting of colored cells that follow the pattern.
3. At the beginning of the thread left to the strung beads make the first loop, as for ordinary knitting.
4. Bleed the air loop.
5. Carry out the following loops, grabbing one bead.
6. When you are tying the number of loops with beads necessary for one row, close the ring with a half-loop in the first air loop. The first row is ready.
7. Separate the same number of beads for the second row.
8. Push the first bead to the loop on the hook closely, thread the hook into the first air loop with the bead from the first row in front of and above it. Similarly, the thread should hold. Spray a half-tube. If everything is done correctly, then the new bead gently "sits down" to the position of the previous row. If you alternate two colors through one bead, then the colors of the elements of each row must match.
9. All other rows are similar.
10. The last row is bred without beads, fix the thread inside the harness.

Use the needle

If you have never been engaged in crochet and you do not have these tools, you can use the tools for beading. They are also easy to make a very beautiful bead of beads. Schemes of weaving with a needle will suit any, and the work is done as follows:

1. Retreat 10 - 15 cm from the edge of the line. Using a needle, string beads for the first row (odd number). Left the tip of the line through the first bead, fixing the beginning of the weaving. The first row is ready.
2. String one line on the fishing line and thread the needle through the element of the first row, located through one. Also, act until the second ring is closed.
3. In the third row the weaving occurs as a "second layer" in the gaps of the second row beads.
4. The subsequent rows are performed similarly until the desired length of the product is obtained.
5. Fasten the fishing line, attach the appropriate hardware for fastening or join the line of the resulting tube into the ring, and then fasten the line.

As you can see, weaving with a needle with a fishing line is not more difficult than a hook and thread.

Beautiful beaded harness: weave patterns

The snake can be drawn in several ways and from different shades. If you are interested in this option, use the following template.

These schemes are created using a computer program, but simple options can be made on a checkered sheet of paper. As for the notation, the first vertical bar shows the figure in its unfolded form, that is, if the tourniquet, as before, would not have been dragged along a circle, but in the form of a strip, which was then sewn along along the length.

The average billet shows how the beads will lie in the form of a mosaic pattern on the surface of the article. The third figure is a ready-made tourniquet, depicted from a certain angle. On the right is a sequence in which it is necessary to type beads or beads on a string. For the convenience of work, each rapport (a repeating part of the pattern) is separated from one another by a tissue sheet. So, it's easier to check the correctness of a set of complex patterns.

Below is another template for weaving. It is easier to draw, but errors in this version will immediately be noticeable, so they need to be corrected in a timely manner.

Bracelets from beads (weaving patterns)

The tourniquet can be an excellent decoration for the wrist. You can work in any way, needle or crochet.

If you already have enough experience, you can try using one of the templates presented above. Take as many rapports as you need along the circumference of your wrist. Count on the size of beads used. If an integer number of modules does not work, take a smaller amount, and start and end the bracelet with a single color - no pattern.

Now you can also make a tourniquet from beads. Schemes of weaving, as you can see, are different. Choose the options according to your experience, skill level and available materials. Create beautiful decorations with your own hands.
