Crochet Rope Designs

So you like bead crochet and have grown weary of the plain unadorned beaded rope….
I have the solution for you, Don’t leave you rope unembellished! I have done a series of embellished crochet rope necklaces that have given those old ropes new life.
Here are a few different styles I have created, I hope they give you some inspiration.

Pele Goddess of Fire

Although I am selling this pattern on my website I thought I would let you know how I attached the cabochon on this piece as I did not do it as I normally would have. Usually I would attach the cabochon to a piece of suede cloth and bead around it then attach it to the piece. This time I completed the bracelet piece, then used E6000 adhesive to attach the cab to the bracelet, clamped it and left it for several hours. After that I worked a bead embroidery technique to go around the face and then worked circular peyote stitch from the base.
I attached my Fireline securely and picked up 4 beads keeping with the color on the base. I went through he bracelet, through a couple of beads then back up and through the last 2 beads, added 4 more bead and repeated. I continued this around then worked the circular peyote. It is a basic bead embroidery stitch so if you are unfamiliar with it do a search for “bead embroidery tutorials”, there are hundreds out there free!

This Newsboy Hat Pattern was fashioned after those boys (and I am sure sometimes girls) in the 1920’s and 1930’s. I have given mine a tiny bit of a feminine twist, using 2 strands of yarn and choosing colors other than brown. On the model I have used 1 strand of Homespun and 1 strand of 100% wool worsted weight.

I have the Pattern as well as the finsihed hat on my website. As with all my patterns once I have sold 50 they are retired so get yours now!

Custom Peyote Patterns

I am now doing custom names in peyote pieces with any name you request on them. These make great bracelets and bookmarks. I did this one for one of my students, although she does not know it yet!


All you have to do is choose a background, your colors and let me know the name and I will make your pattern for you. We can work together to make the perfect piece for you or your loved one.

Here is what the pattern includes:



1. Bead Legend: this tells you what Delica beads you will need complete with the Delica color #, and the amount of each you will need.

2. Bead Pattern: useful for those who know how to read a Peyote Stitch pattern.

3. Complete print out row by row bead by bead for those who find it too tedious or have never even SEEN a Peyote Stitch pattern before!

4. Directions with photos of a beaded toggle clasp and a medallion style clasp. You can always make or buy your own if you want to.

Bonus directions for matching beaded earrings

New Crochet Rope Design

In a recent edition of Beadwork magazine I saw a bracelet in there I really liked. The problem was that no matter how many times I tried to weave it using the directions and technique in the magazine I could not get it to work.

I have been doing bead crochet for with some time so I though perhaps I could come up with a pattern with the same beads and a similar look. This was the result…

splendid! I will be ordering more of these beads!
