you may print out and use these instructions for your personal use only.

Below are the stringing patterns for a few ropes or bracelets. The only difference being that you join the ends
of a rope to make a bracelet. You repeat the pattern of beads until it is long enough.

Simple spiral patterns:
3 aqua, 1 bronze, 1 aqua, 1 bronze
4 pink, 2 purple
2 pink, 1 dk. pink, 2 SL pink, 1 dk. pink

Brick Patterns:
2 size. 11/0, 2 size. 8/0
You will be crocheting a big bead over a small bead, so
don't panic.

Raised Spiral:
The repeat here is actually 12 beads, but crocheted in 6
around. Top is with crystals, middle is with fringe beads
& bottom is with vintage faceted beads in the center.

3 size 11/0, 1 size 8/0, 1 size 6/0, 1 size 8/0, 3 size
11/0, 1 size 8/0, 1 crystal or size 6/0, 1 size 8/0

Something different... Make two separate simple

spiral ropes. Join the first in a circle. Twist the second
around the first and join the ends.

Don't want to weave the ends?
Use a large bead and pass the "tail" ends of the crochet
thread back & forth, catching under beads at each end
until snug.

Really ambitious?
Do a 40" to 50" rope, add large beads at the end and
string a tassel through the large bead. Voila, a rope
lariat! Watch out though, for 50" that's 25' of strung
beads. I do it in two or three pieces and join them or
just add in another string to the end of my current
crocheting. Remember... the last bead strung is the
first bead worked..
