BASIC TUBE CROCHET

Follow the step-by-step directions in the order shown below

to create a beaded crochet tube of six beads per round

STEP 6 You now have

two loops on the hook

and the thread is wrapped

around the hook. Pull the

thread through the irst

loop. You will have two

loops on the hook when

this step is complete.

STEP 1 Place a needle on the end of the thread and load all the beads

onto the thread. Hint: If you’re using only one bead color, pour your beads into a

container and scoop the needle through the beads. If you’re loading

in a speciic pattern, arrange your beads in small adjacent piles in

the correct order.

in a speciic

repeat

STEP 7 Pull the irst loop through the second loop. This

completes the stitch.

Loaded beads rolled

onto the tube

Repeat steps 4 through 7 until you have

six completed stitches. This completes the

irst round of six. The photos below show

how the work should look at this point.

STEP 2 Make a slip knot on the hook.

STEP 3 Make six chain stitches, each

with one bead

Position the hook in a loop of

thread as showin the photos

and pull so the slip knot forms

on the hook.

To chain with a bead, slide a bead

down the thread until it hangs

below the hook. Wrap the thread

around the hook and pull it through

the loop.

STEP 4 Insert the hook into the irst beaded chain,

then slide the bead over to the far side of the hook.

This is an important step; in order for the whole

process to be successful, all the beads must “land”

on the outside of the tube.

Flatten the work; from overhead, you should already see six

“spokes” of thread. At the end of each spoke is one bead.

Note that the next beaded stitch into which you will insert the

hook has a cream bead, which is the color of the next bead

you will slide down the thread. You will know that you are

working correctly if this happens consistently.

Seen from the side, the beads will show

the beginning stages of a spiral pattern

even at this early stage. Note that the

lower beads (those of the original six

chains) are positioned horizontally,

while the beads of the new round are

somewhat vertical. This will happen

consistently if you are working correctly.

As the tube lengthens, the spiral pattern

will become more visible, and the rela-

tive positioning of the beads (horizontal,

vertical) will be more pronounced.

Troubleshooting

common problems

STEP 5 Slide a bead down the thread so it sits directly on top of the bead you just

moved to the far side of the hook. The thread should come from BEHIND the bead

you just moved to the far side of the hook. When the bead is properly positioned, wrap

the thread over the hook.

If you have created a pattern of six

beads in repeat as shown here, the

bead that you slide down the thread

will be the same color as the bead

you just moved to the far side of the

tube. This will happen with each new

“pair” of beads, the one you have al-

ready crocheted, and the one you slide

down the thread.

You don’t have six beads in the

round you are working on.

A bead appears in the

center of your tube

After every few rounds, check your tube to be sure you

have six beads around the spokes when you latten the

top. If you see less or more than six, pull out the work

until you have six. You have either missed one stitch

or placed more than one bead into a stitch.

If you look at the side of the tube, one

bead seems to be receding. If you look

at the top of the tube, a bead is in the

center of the spokes. This means that the

bead you moved to the far side of the hook

has slipped through as you pull the thread

through the loops. If this happens, you can

either push the bead back out again, or, if

that is too dificult, pull out stitches until

your work looks correct again.
