How to Crochet Bead-Tube Jewelry

From Annie's Attic! Beaded tube crochet jewelry is a mix of crochet and beadwork. While it looks complicated, it really isn't as it uses only the most basic stitches. The most crucial part of bead tube crochet is making sure the beads land on the outside of the tube. How to Crochet Bead-Tube Jewelry includes an up-close DVD shot from behind the designer showing how to get the beads to lie correctly, plus many more handy tips! The view that is seen by the customer looks exactly like it does when he or she is crocheting. There are also two designs that include chain link attachments that crafters can choose to attach or not attach making the designs versatile.

The basic bead tube crochet is done with a five beads pattern. All bead tube crochet is worked the same way; the only difference is the amount of beads per row determines how many chain stitches are needed to join rounds. As each round is stitched, the beads lay on top of each other making each row "stand" on each other to create a tube.
