I used a simple pattern Nezumi World, and read some helpful tips on working with wire over at seafore.com.
I used a 28 gauge wire and a 3.5 metal crochet hook.
I strung 35 beads, but only ended up using 22
Left a long tail as I was going to have to attach it to a clasp later.
Here I am using the tail from the the slip knot to tie around the spring clasp.
I tweaked the bead placement so they hung at one side instead of in the middle.
It was surprisingly easy. The only tip I have is that it's difficult to undo stitches, so make sure the loop on the needle is a good size before you start the yo process.
Thank you so much for sharing!! I recently ventured into crocheting wire jewelry too. I want to do more of it, and this looks like such a great idea...hanging a bead on each stitch!!! I love the color you chose too. Very pretty!!

ReplyDeleteKaren - Thank you!
I wonder if it hurts your hand to work with wire. Your bracelet looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamdoll. Nope, it didn't hurt my hands.
