In bead crochet, beads are strung onto the crochet thread and captured into specific stitches as one crochets along.

The beads can form a raised geometric design against a crocheted thread background or the beads can be strung onto the thread in a precise color pattern. When the beads are worked into every stitch they form a solid beaded picture or pattern.

Even if you do not know how to crochet, with a little practice you will be crocheting with beads. Using simple crochet stitches, you will learn how to make a bead crocheted drawstring pouch similar to syles used in the Victorian Era.

You will also learn how to make a necklace or bracelet similar in style to the bead crocheted necklaces from the roaring twenties.

Materials will be discussed and patterns included. Helpful hints, beads and a variety of stitches will inspire you for future projects.  Format VHS75 minutes
