Bead Crochet
By Bethany Barry
“Why crochet when you can bead crochet?”\
Here’s a book that highlights the most recent innovative craft pairing, with stunning projects sure to inspire enthusiasts of either craft. This isn’t the typical tutorial on how to make crocheted ropes or purses – Bead Crochet takes both crafts to a new level.
‘Beading is an exploding field of colorful creativity, and bead crochet offers unique and exciting ways to use and play with beads,’ says author Bethany Barry, a self-taught beader and teacher for nearly 30 years. ‘Crochet is an extremely forgiving stitch, and unlike traditional seed-bead stitchery, crochet mistakes are easy to pull out and redo, or hide. The possibilities are virtually endless.’
Inside Bead Crochet, you’ll find:
• Basic crochet techniques and tips
• Four-color illustrations that make patterns easy to understand
• A dozen exciting projects using a variety of cords, yarn sizes, and textures including: a cuff inspired by the night sky, a versatile talisman necklace, classy spiral earrings, a playful beaded collar, a bejeweled circle purse, and more
• Projects presented at all skill levels, with step-by-step instructions for each
Bead Crochet also features an inspirational photo gallery and instructions for using beading techniques to embellish crochet projects. This inventive technique opens up a whole new creative range for beaders and crocheters alike, making Bead Crochet a sure bet for the crafter’s personal library.”
