[@aisacrochetfashion]

This is a great tutorial I love doing crochet, and adding beads on my crochet stuff is one of my favorites.

[@juliaboose4414]

Many thanks for this. I have used beads in my crochet work before, but always prestrung and I am never as thrilled with the end result as I hoped. I have tried your method and BINGO!!!!! they look amazing. Thank you so much!

[@deniseebron1864]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I have been wanting to try beading into my crochet project and did not know how to do it. This is fantastic! Cannot wait to try it!

Wow! Thank you so much! I am too ADHD to pre-string and sort beads, I have never tried it, but always wanted to! Subscribing!

[@ramonakearns2101]

Thanks for sharing. I was having a difficult time getting it right and I thought prestringing was better, but this is so much easier.

[@debrtx]

Wow! This is super! I needed an easy way of adding some beads to a short tie for a vest. This is the best. Thank you so much.

[@TekkoTono]

Thank you! I'm looking to make snoods and thought some pearl beads would look lovely with it. Thanks again!

[@chloegrl1366]

Wow great technique Knew I got those tiny hooks for something thx for sharing~!!

[@heathermacdonald7854]

Thank you! This method seems to keep the beads on the outside, which was what I was looking for.

[@SallyKnyvett]

Thank you. I used this method to add beads to my christmas tree gnome :)

[@SweetAcres2020]

[@marmararie1420]

Ok, this really helps, my dad wants me to redo his "charm" bracelet and I was struggling to add in the bead, IT WAS JUST THE FIRST BEAD, I told him I'll just finish it tomorrow cause I just watched this video 😅

[@GrannyMardi]

Brilliant! Ty!

[@joyaroozooolsen2800]

I think you still need a bead with a bigger hole or the 1.5 size crochet hook with not go through it to get the yarn in and through☺️

[@Pink_1012]

Can you post a tutorial for these? 🥲

[@susanconder6590]

Is that a tiny hook your using to pull the yarn Thur the bead?

[@annidoll78]

Where did you get your beads from?

[@rajashreedoiphode4634]

Can we add 5no bead??

[@marial.rapaglia4041]

NOT RECOMMENDED to use beads on any fabric that will eventually require washing, since fabric can be ruined & beads will fall off-beads are best for necklace stringing or for fabric items that are rarely washed.

[@craftingforweeks]

Thank you for your concern. With this method, the beads are worked into the fabric and cannot fall off without the entire project being unraveled. Also, I usually recommend that crochet items are hand-washed.

[@BoazsCrown222]

CraftingforWeeks I’m glad you mentioned hand-washing because I actually attached glass beads to my scarf. Was wondering if anyone has added glass beads to crotchet work before, or if that is a “no, no”. What are your thoughts on this, please?

[@Gretagarbo830]

Why the music?? Why??? So irritating and distracting from the verbal instructions!!!! Please rethink the music!!!
