This master class will tell you how to create crochet jewelry - crocheted bracelets
Knitted jewelry always looks original andinteresting. But it is advisable not to combine them with other knitted items – that would be too much. It is better to wear them separately, with sewn items. Each handmade knitted decoration is individual and unique. It carries the warmth of the hands and a spark of the creator’s imagination. This master class shows how to create a beautiful bracelet from a knitted lace ribbon and several glass beads. To create such a bracelet you need:
- threads, it is advisable to take threads that are not too thick, “Iris”, “Narcissus” or “Rose” would work well;
- hook number 1 or 2 (depends on the thickness of the thread);
- monofilament or thin thread in the color of the bracelet;
- 7 glass beads.
Let's start creating our bracelet.First, you need to knit the base of the bracelet - a lace ribbon. We start knitting in the standard way - with a chain, which in our case will consist of seven loops.Now we form the first row of the ribbon - we knit a double crochet into the first (farthest from the hook) loop of the original chain.
We will start the next, third row again with a chain, but consisting of four loops.
And again we will finish the row with a column in which there will be one yarn over.
The next chain will not form a new row. It will be a continuation of the third row, and will be attached to the side of the ribbon. So, we will knit six loops.
And, as already mentioned, we attach it to the side of the knitting with a slip stitch. We attach the chain in the middle, between the first and second row of the braid.
Again, knit a chain of three loops – this will be a row for lifting.
In the resulting loop, knit 11 double crochet stitches.
We will knit the twelfth column into a braid column.
Let's finish the row by knitting another double crochet and separating it from the previous one with a chain stitch.
We knit exactly the same loop with columns on the other side. We collect a chain of six loops.
We form a loop using a single crochet.
Three loops, eleven columns, the twelfth column into the braid.
And we finish the row - a loop and a column.
And again the loop to the side.
In total, the bracelet has 19 loops in different directions. But you need to try the bracelet on your hand while knitting.
Using a needle with a large eye, hide the thread.
Let's try our beads on the bracelet.
Keeping the pattern, we move the beads from the bracelet onto the table.
It is best to sew on beads with monofilament thread -it is not visible either on the front or on the back. If there is no monofilament, then you need to select threads that exactly match the color of the bracelet threads. Sew on the first bead. It needs to be placed closer to the edge, because it is on it that the bracelet will be fastened.
It's easier to work with two needles at once -sewing beads on both sides at once, to make it easier to maintain symmetry. Therefore, having sewn on the first bead, we immediately sew on the very last one. It is better to sew it a little further from the edge. This is necessary so that one loop of the braid remains free. We will fasten our first bead into it. Then we sew on the second bead.
And immediately the penultimate one.
Now the third beads.
And the central one. We'll sew it on, tilting it slightly.
This is such a cute bracelet I got.With a little imagination, you can change it. For example, use beads of a contrasting shade or different colors and textures. You can trim the edges with beads in the same tone. This is just the basis and one of the decoration options. Everything else is your imagination and creativity.
