I was thinking it would be awesome in Christmas colors also, and birth stone colors for a mothers bracelet, can’t wait to try this
Artbeads is helpful and wonderful, love them!
I enjoyed the tutorial, and would love to try this
I haven’t tried this technique yet, but I’d love to.
These are not colors I would normally think to put together nor have I ever done bead crochet, but would certainly like to give it a try.
So great to see Katie as well as Cynthia & Becky :). Thank you for doing this tutorial, I am 1 of the ones behind the charge to see Katie working her crochet magic. I am teaching myself as we speak (write) & can chain (it addicting). This was very helpful I look forward to moving on to crocheting a rope. Thank you Katie!
I love the summer colors. Thanks for the giveaway.
Looks like a lovely project!
Great giveaway. I love the colors.
I tired crocheting bead rope before. Did once and never again (because I made soooooo much mistakes!)
With these new tips and tricks, I am willing to give this a try again!
Would love to learn to crochet with beads.
Looks like this would be fun to try with size 8 beads. Very interesting tutorial Thank you!
Always looking for a new technique to try and this one looks really interesting.
Is there a paper we use to draw out our pattern, like with peyote? I’ve made several spiral crocheted bracelets and it is addicting!! I have my daughter-in-law string the beads so I don’t have to 😂
Hi Marisol! We do not have seed bead graph paper for beaded crochet rope designs at this time, but that’s a good idea!
Rawr rawr Becky – make some magic happen 😂

I love the look of bead crochet but hate loading them all up! Worth it though when you have a beautiful piece at the end!
I loved the Artbeads cafe episode showing the technique on how to crochet beads together to form a rope, I must try this one of these days.
I have been wanting to learn bead crochet! This would be the perfect way to start! I want to start with a bangle bracelet. Thank you for the opportunity!
Can’t wait to try this technique.
I need to learn the chain stick and then try the rope. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial!!!!
Ah, I learned this from taking a class years ago. I am not too creative when it comes to getting it going. I usually search ideas first.
The bead crochet is wonderful.
I love crochet, this would be a fun project
I love crochet, this would be Fun
Katie – is it recommended to use even number of beads? I used 6 in my bracelet and you used 8.
Good question! The number can be even or odd. I just happened to use 8 because it worked well for the end caps and pattern that I wanted to use. For the step-by-step tutorial with big pony beads I actually used 5 beads per row, and for the floral bracelet in the video (the pattern for that is getting added to the website soon) I used 7. -Katie
Very Nice Work. http://www.losangelesbeads.com
