Learn how to create the Crochet Bead Stitch. This works for any size project. Chain in multiples of even numbers, like 30, 32, 34 and whatever. The bead stitch is an easy crochet stitch to make. It is worked the same way as the extended single crochet, but with one extra extension. Instead of just raising the stitch, it actually creates a nice bobble at the front of the fabric after the next single crochet is worked.
The bead stitch is perfect for just about all crochet designs. I’ve had a lot of fun with it so far. I’ve used it in several designs including a hat, bracelets, purse and tote and for baby dress. The bead stitch is similar to a puff stitch but it is worked around a double crochet next to it instead of into the stitch below it.
How to Crochet Bead Stitch ?
The Bead Stitch is a fun and easy crochet stitch that adds texture and interest to your projects. It creates a series of small “beads” or “popcorn” stitches that are scattered throughout the work. To create the bead stitch, you start by making several double crochets into the same stitch. Then, you remove your hook from the loop and insert it from front to back through the first double crochet you made. Finally, you pick up the dropped loop and pull it through the stitch to create the bead. The bead stitch can be used in a variety of projects, such as blankets, scarves, and hats, to add dimension and texture. With a few simple steps, you can add a touch of whimsy to your crochet creations with the Bead Stitch.
