From this article you will learn how to crochet a rope of beads using the method of embroidering beads around a rope. Strands of beads are very beautifully combined as a separate part of the jewelry, or as a set of necklaces with a bracelet or earrings.

We crochet a rope of beads

So, what do you need for a fantastic bead strand:

• yarn for the warp (usually Iris threads, I have 3 spools);
• beads of different colors;
• accessories: fastener, cones, rings, nails;
• crochet hook 0.8-1.0mm;
• bead needle;
• scheme.

It is better to use a small cross stitch pattern. To ensure that the pattern on the rope is even, but in no case diagonal (like a brick), the rope must be knitted in single crochet stitches. Make a drawing using jbead or (CrochetBeadPaint) and print it.

Determine the length of the rope experimentally - tie a sample, calculate the number of repeats of the pattern. IN in this case you need 14 repeats to get beads 45cm long.

String the beads according to the diagram. Knit 15 air loops, connect with a ring. Continue knitting 3 rows of single crochets in the round (each row has 15 double crochets = pattern width is 15 beads).

Now let's start tying beads.

Hook the hook onto both walls of the st.b.n. of the previous row, pull out the loop. Move the bead close to the resulting loop, knit both loops together.

Repeat until you run out of beads.

If you missed a bead while casting beads, no problem! Tie the “empty” st.b.n. and sew on the desired bead after finishing the work.

Excess/irregular beads can be carefully split with pliers. Be careful not to damage the thread.

When all the beads are knitted, make 3 more rows of dc.

We tuck the ponytails and attach the accessories.

We put a bead on a jewelry stud, tuck it inside the strand and sew up the edge.
We put on the cone, use pliers to make a loop and attach the fastener.

That's all, you've got some gorgeous beads!

Embroidering a strand of beads on a rope - African technique

If it’s difficult for you to knit according to patterns or crochet a rope of beads, you can make a rope with a pattern using African technique. That is, embroider with beads on a rope.

So, for embroidery you will need a rope, preferably in medium-sized cotton braid, approximately 5-8 mm in diameter.

The thread must be secured in the rope with a knot or small stitches in different directions, after putting several beads on the thread and twisting it around the rope. It is better to place the beads on the rope tightly, but do not pull the thread too tightly.
Thread a needle into the rope after the last bead cast on, and bring it out 3-4 beads as you go backwards.

Make a short fixing stitch across the bead bottom, bring the needle further, a few more beads back, again a fixing stitch, etc.

When all the turns have been grabbed, we bring the needle to the place where we finished wrapping, a couple of beads before the end is low.

We pass the needle forward as we work into the last two collected beads and string a new portion of beads.

We again wrap the rope around the collected beads, fasten the turns, etc., until we have embroidered the entire rope.

How many beads to string, choose for yourself, sometimes a couple of turns is enough, sometimes more, the fewer turns at a time and the more often the fastening, the more accurate the result, but it takes a long time to embroider with too short turns, find your own reasonable compromise.

For embroidery, it is better to choose ropes with a cotton braid; the core of the rope is cut off at the edges by a couple of cm and the braid is tucked inside the rope; then it is easy to sew any fastener to the edge.

Knitting a thick rope of beads video master class

We knit cords, braid, plaits.

Gooseneck cord

The most beautiful cord crochet. Suitable for straps, bag handles, Irish lace.
You can use the caterpillar as the beginning (bottom) of the product, i.e. We use a lace instead of the initial chain.
Great for knitting handles for a bag.

1. Cast on 2 ch.
2. Knit in the first st. b/n.
3. Rotate the knitting 180 degrees.
4. Insert the hook to the left of the post into 2 loops.
5. Pull the thread through them
6. Tie st. b/n
7. Rotate the product 180 degrees again

To begin, we cast on a chain of 3 air loops.

Then we grab the working thread with a hook and pull out a loop from the second loop from the hook and in the same way pull out another loop from the next initial loop. Thus, three loops appeared on the hook.

Next we lower the first two loops from the hook and grab them with the fingers of our left hand.

Holding the dropped loops with your fingers, grab the working thread with a hook and knit the loop remaining on the hook.

Having knitted the first loop, release one loop, put it on the hook and knit.

Having knitted the second loop, we release the remaining loop, put it on the hook and knit it.

So, there were again 3 loops on the hook.

We begin to repeat the previous steps. We lower the two outer loops from the hook and grab them with our fingers. We knit the remaining 1st loop on the hook. Then we release the 2nd loop and knit it too. Next, we put the 3rd loop on the hook and knit it in the same way. Next, we repeat these simple steps until the required length of the lace is obtained.

Crochet rope

A crochet hook is a unique knitting tool with which you can knit beautiful and durable ropes; we will look at the technique of knitting a round twisted rope in this topic. This cord is ideal as handles for a bag, for creating decorative items, belts, straps, and decorations. The thickness of the rope depends on the thickness of the thread and the number of loops in the initial chain; the thicker the thread, the more loops you need to cast on in the initial chain. http://domihobby.ru/

So, to knit a test sample, take not too thin, light yarn and a suitable hook. Cast on a chain of 5 to 10 chain stitches (depending on the thickness of the thread) and knit the first row with single crochets. Turning the work over, examine the first row and mark the jumpers under the loops into which the hook is inserted during further knitting.

Next, we secure the work into a ring by knitting a connecting post into a side loop.


Then we begin to knit single crochets in a circle, inserting the hook from the outside of the loops behind the jumper.

Having completed the first circle, continue further without making lifting loops. After knitting several rows, you will see that the upper part of the loops twists inward.


Next you will see the outlines of a twisted spiral and the places where the hook will be inserted are clearly visible.


Continue knitting to the required rope length.

Funny braid

Lesson on braiding cord with ribbons!

In this weaving, the main thing is to start) this is the most difficult part, because when you start, it seems that the drawing is not the same at all, and in general something incomprehensible turns out)))

So. let's start)

1. take two ribbons. They can be different colors or they can be the same. For ease of explanation, I take ribbons of two colors: green and yellow

2. take the green ribbon and fold it into a loop

3. now we take the yellow tape and also fold it into a loop (with the other hand), I just had to take pictures a little inconveniently)

4. thread the yellow loop into the green one

5. tighten the green loop

6. Now we fold the new green loop again and thread it into the yellow one

7. tighten the yellow loop

8.fold the yellow loop again, thread it through the green one and tighten

9. The question may arise: where to put the loop that appears on the outside after threading it into the other?

we just pull it all the way into another loop....

10. and this is what we should get in the end))))

Sorry for the quality - I took the photo on my phone. If you have any questions, ask. I tried to explain

as accessible as possible)))) Thank you for your attention

How to crochet a pearl cord

From beads you can make both light and airy things and massive-looking, dense strands that amaze those around you with the beauty of the intricate bead pattern. You can decorate your wardrobe with these strands, using a piece of art as a belt or necklace, or incorporate them into more complex beaded jewelry.

The first impression that a beaded strand makes is the incredible complexity of the weaving. Yes, this is a complex technique that uses crochet techniques along with beading. However, by studying our video tutorials and carefully following the actions of the instructors, you will learn how to perform this complex weaving and amaze everyone with the amazing beauty of your creations.

We offer a brief overview of video tutorials on creating harnesses:

A string of beads.

Actually, the purpose of this video is to dispel the fears of beginners. Yes, starting is difficult! The hooks are thin, the beads are small, everything gets tangled and scattered... Is this a familiar story?! To begin with, very briefly for those who have never tried it at all: a beaded rope is crocheted from beads previously placed on a warp thread.

Then there are the subtleties: the combination of bead size and thread thickness, the choice of hook size, the skill of reading, and then creating patterns for bead strands... But you have to start somewhere, right?! Having some learning experience, I can say that too much information at once for a beginner is also a problem. But you will learn how to weave a rope.

Video lesson:

Crocheted bead strand.

In today's video we'll talk about how to crochet a rope of beads and what we need for this:

• It is preferable to use Czech or Japanese beads;
• It is advisable to use cotton thread;
• a hook, instead of which you can use a regular needle;
• a coil of wire;
• lock, connecting ring, caps.

Before we start knitting a bead rope, we need to put our beads onto a spool of thread, 10 beads in a row. We make 10 air loops on the thread with a crochet hook and close them into a ring. We advance 10 beads and begin to knit our flagellum

Video lesson:

Master class on how to crochet a rope of beads.

We will take Czech beads, number 7, but you can take any other one. First we make air loops, we need 9 of them, we close our loops into a ring. After this, we will need to weave a bead into each loop.

After the work has been done, we place the working thread on the hook, move the beads away from the working thread on the hook and pull it through two loops, making the second row of our flagellum. A prerequisite is that the beads in the row are perpendicular to each other. We do the same work several times. This bracelet can be a great decoration for you.

Video lesson:

Harness in a single crochet.

To work you will need:

• Czech beads 10;
• Jeans or Canarias threads;
• hook 0.75 or 0.5;
• beading needle;
• a piece of thin sewing thread 15 cm.

First, we will knit several rows without the beads themselves, we will do this so that our flagella are smooth and beautiful. You can find knitting patterns on the Internet. Let's start weaving the rope. To begin, we make a sliding loop, take the hook and insert it under the thread, while grabbing the working thread that goes to the ball.

Video lesson:

Tourniquet in a column.

Russian way. In the video we will talk about knitting in a column, as well as the difference between a column and a half-column, and we will talk about knitting techniques. Let's start the master class. The difference between a column and a half-column is only visual. For a half-column, the beads are laid horizontally, and for a column - at an angle. Both methods are good in their own way.

For work we took Czech number ten beads, 0.5 hook, thread. Each tourniquet tied by a column, we start with a chain of air loops, and the number of air loops in the chain is 2 times less than the circumference of the rope we are knitting.

Video lesson:

Beaded monochromatic rope.

To make it, you will need beads, threads matching its color, a bead needle, a 1.5 hook and scissors. Using a needle, beads are threaded onto the thread for its entire length. We make two loops on the thread with a crochet hook, after which we pull eight beads to them and continue to make air loops, grabbing one bead into each of them.

This is how the first row of beads turns out, which closes in a circle. Next, the second row is knitted from the next eight beads. This braiding of the rope continues until complete readiness. Each row uses the same number of beads.

Video lesson:

Patterned strand of beads.

There are many patterns for knitting ropes, both black and white and colored. There is a special computer program for creating such circuits. You can use existing circuits or use the program to develop new ones to your liking. Depending on what color is provided in the pattern, beads of the required color are selected.

The instructor explains in detail how to use the diagrams and calculate the number of beads needed for work. All rows of beads are knitted from left to right. When creating a bracelet, you can accurately determine the number of beads of each color.

Video lesson:

A strand of beads in half-columns and columns.

For those who are learning how to crochet a rope of beads, two popular weaving techniques are offered - half-column and column. Using the half-column method, strands of small diameter are knitted, up to 10 beads in a row. The thread is matched to the color of the beads or serves as a contrasting background with it.

Using a needle, beads are threaded onto a thread, after which the needle can be removed. At the beginning, two air loops are knitted, 8 beads are moved towards them, and knitting with air loops begins, one bead is knitted into each of them. It turns out to be a neat chain, which we close in a circle.

Video lesson:

A string of beads.

Let's look at how to crochet a rope of beads in accordance with the diagram, resulting in a product with a multi-colored geometric pattern. The required colors of beads are selected according to the drawing. In addition, we will need:

• denim threads;
• needle with a wide eye;
• hook 0.8;
• end switches for the ends of the harness;
• rings;
• magnetic lock.

You can choose a pattern for knitting a rope on the Internet. The patterns are very different; we will consider a simple version of a full harness of 235 rows. Let's get an American strand of beads. As you move towards the central rows, each row is completed with one more bead, and after passing through the center, we begin to remove one bead at a time, ensuring a narrowing.

Video lesson:

Bead strand in a half-column.

The master class is conducted for greater clarity on large beads and thick threads, respectively big size a hook is also taken. It describes in detail how to get the first loop on a thread. This loop is a ring on which as many double crochets are knitted as we need beads for the full thickness of the strand.

Then the ring is tightened, and all the columns form a neat flower. The beads are pulled up and knitting using them begins. After knitting to the end of the row, you get a neat ring of beads.

Video lesson:

Accessories made from beads are always at the peak of popularity. These small glass beads, in various combinations woven into strands, attract to themselves Special attention. Therefore, many needlewomen want to learn how to crochet a rope of beads. The master class will help you master this intricate art.

Features of bead strands

The most famous and ancient bead decoration is the rope. It can be an independent decoration, for example, a bracelet, necklace, or it can be woven into a pendant or as an element of earrings. These products were widespread back in Ancient Egypt - it’s not for nothing that the famous Cleopatra was always depicted with an exquisite beaded cord around her neck. In essence, a rope is a hollow cord made of single-colored or multi-colored beads of the same or different sizes, woven using special techniques (crocheted or using a needle) and patterns. If you use a hook, then all models will differ only in the pattern, but the shape will be the same - cylindrical.

Specifics of crocheting harnesses

Before you start tying the tourniquet, you need to:

• decide on the design you want to embody. The length and thickness of the product will depend on this, and therefore the amount of beads required for the strand;
• calculate the number of beads according to the following scheme: the length of the finished cord is multiplied by the number of beads of thickness (for example, for a length of 50 cm and a width of 8 beads you need to take 400 glass beads);
• choose the appropriate thread thickness and select a hook for the thread.

The difficulty of beading with a hook is that the knitting turns out to be quite tight, since there are no yarn overs that make the process airy and free. However, having mastered the master class of crocheting a rope from beads, you will not remain indifferent to this activity.

If the threads and hook are selected correctly for the beads, then it is not difficult to make a knitted rope from beads - a master class of any needlewoman will confirm this. So, when choosing threads we take into account:

• thickness (the thinner the better);
• texture (only synthetics or cotton iris);
• color (it’s better when the thread is the same shade as the beads).

For the right choice hook, the same principle should be taken into account as with the thickness of the thread: it is better to take a thin one. For beads, knitting tools of 0.5-1.6 are recommended.

Secrets of beautiful braiding

To make the strands beautiful and neat, you should take into account some nuances when working with beads:

• the working surface should be covered with a piece of fabric of a contrasting color with the beads - this way the beads will not get lost;
• if you have chosen a complex scheme, then arm yourself with a pencil and cross out the completed rows;
• check the quality of the beads - defective material will ruin your work;
• It is better to string beads with a needle rather than with your fingers - this way there is less risk of losing the beads;
• if you use it very much thin threads, then they can be strengthened by passing them through a piece of beeswax;
• During the weaving process, make sure that the hook is in front of the bead on top, and the thread is on top in front of the product - then the beads will fit tightly to each other.

How to tie a monochromatic rope?

If you are just starting to master the technology of creating crocheted bead strands, master class, patterns are best chosen for plain models.

To work you will need:

• large beads (about 40 g per 20 cm of rope);
• hook 1.5;
• thin threads of iris;
• bead needle;
• clasp.

Instructions:

1. Cut the thread 2-2.5 m long.
2. We string the beads, securing the end of the thread with a knot.
3. We knit a column with air loops (the number of loops is the width of the rope), after each loop we grab a bead.
4. We close the ring.
5. We knit half-columns, attracting 1 bead at a time.
6. The loops should be the same, and we make the same number of beads for each row so that there are no distortions.
7. We complete the product as with standard crochet - tighten the loop and hide the end inside the plait.
8. We glue or sew the fastener to the finished product.

We knit a forked tourniquet

Lovers original forms, will certainly appreciate the availability of the bifurcated harness circuit.

We will need:

• beads (can be two-colored) – 50 g;
• thin threads of iris;
• needle;
• hook 1.5-1.6;
• clasp.

Instructions:

1. Cut a thread about 2.5 m long.
2. We string beads and knit to the bifurcation point the usual scheme: We pull a bead under each loop and draw the pattern in a circle.
3. In the place of the necessary bifurcation we knit a series of air loops and pull them to the opposite side through the center.
4. We continue knitting according to the same pattern, but now for 2 parts.
5. To combine the product into 1 bundle again, we knit the touching parts of the branches together, combining the loops.
6. We complete the work by tightening the loop and sewing or gluing the fastener.

Schemes for crochet harness

It’s not so difficult to crochet a strand of beads - a master class just needs to be chosen. And it's better to start with simple models, experimenting with form, and then proceeding to complex patterns with alternating several colors. In this case, beading will bring a lot of pleasure not only from the result, but also from the very process of creating exclusive jewelry.

The creative potential of people never ceases to amaze. Many representatives of the fair sex are passionate about sewing, embroidery, knitting, weaving and other types of needlework. Until recently, few people knew how to knit a rope of beads according to patterns, but after it began to gain popularity among other accessories, demand appeared. And since the need exists, we’ll tell you how you can create amazing beauty using a crochet hook and beads.

I would like to immediately note that knitting bead strands is quite labor-intensive work and not always everything will work out the first time. If you decide to learn all the truths of this wonderful handicraft, then be patient.

A little about harnesses

The harnesses can be made in a monochromatic style or using a pattern. A strong denim thread or iris is used as a base. The knitting technique includes several methods: half-crochet, double crochet and single crochet. The thickness of the rope also varies from 6 elements to 30 beads in diameter, depending on preference. Beginning needlewomen should choose the optimal size - this is a diameter of 6 to 12 beads using the half-column or simple column from 13 or more beads in diameter.

Braided harnesses are a fashionable and modern accessory. By appearance resembles a dense cord, although openwork and lace practices are also used to create it. Since ancient times we have known this thing. The craftswomen of those distant times took a ribbon and sewed it until it turned into a cord.

Times go by, and technologies improve. Today, you can find bundles of different shapes in the form of a spiral, square, or outer braid. Due to its versatility and original appearance, the accessory quickly and easily became fashionable. It is worn as an independent attribute or in combination with chains and pendants.

Knitted plaits are elegant and go well with any outfit, the main thing is to choose the right look. After watching the master class, it will be easier to create a piece of jewelry that could be suitable for a specific look or even serve as a universal item.

How to read a diagram

As with the manufacture of any product, you should first decide on the pattern. We choose a scheme. At first glance, it looks complicated, but it only seems so. The pattern on the rope is formed by following a certain sequence when placing beads on a thread. Let's try to read the wiring diagrams.

Scheme of beaded knitted rope

Let's take as an example a product consisting of 12 beads in diameter; this parameter is indicated by the information located in the upper right corner. The number of beads in the pattern is indicated just below. From left to right there are three diagrams that have their own purpose: Draft indicates how the beads will look when weaving; Corrected shows the image in a spread, like a mosaic; Simulation offers a look at the finished harness.

For quick and easy beading, there are colored columns on the side - rapport. It is read from the top left corner and down. The number next to the colored square indicates the number of beads of a given color that will need to be collected to complete the pattern. When we start dialing, we focus on the first Draft column from right to left.

How to knit a beaded crocheted rope: master class

To obtain ready product, first you need to dial required amount repeating patterns. For example, we knit a rope 10 cm long. Therefore, we multiply the desired length by the number of beads in the circle: 10x12 = 120 cm and get the length of the thread with beads strung on it 1 m 20 cm.

Having dealt with the length, we begin the creative process:

1. Take a ball of iris thread or denim thread. We string beads onto it with a special needle, following the location of the colored squares in the left column.
2. We begin assembling the harness using traditional air loops. We do it and immediately knit the first loop. By tightening it to a size smaller than the bead, we get a setting. Then we move the first bead towards the resulting loop, forming a loop behind it.
3. We proceed in the same way with the next bead. So we knit another 11 beads. We form a circle with a hook by inserting it into the first loop from the first bead and pulling the thread through two loops.
4. Count out in advance the required number of beads to knit for each row. Otherwise, you can easily get confused.
5. We begin the second row of the cord by moving the first bead, placing the hook in the loop with the first bead knitted, pushing it down.
6. Next, grab the thread and thread it through two loops. We proceed in a similar way with all subsequent ones. When doing the work, the threads should not hang or be loose - this way they will be visible, or even worse - they will fall through the beads into the strand.
7. After 4–7 cm, the beads will stand straight and work will become easier.

This is a fun activity that will help pass the evenings. We recommend watching a video where you can learn how to create half-column strands.
