Step by step instructions

You won’t need much time to tie a bead using a crochet hook and regular thread. A step-by-step master class will make the work clear, and the finished beads can be used as a bright element of jewelry in combination with other materials.

A few words about how to choose a hook for work, and for this you first need to decide on the threads. As a rule, on the packaging of each skein there are instructions regarding the recommended size of knitting needles and hook for working with this particular thread. Therefore, pay attention to the yarn you buy.

For the first experiment, it is better not to take small beads and thin thread. Once you understand the principle, you can start experimenting with sizes.

Step 1: cast on loops

It all starts with casting on stitches for the first center circle. It is formed not with the help of air loops (as is usually the case), but is typed directly with single crochets. The entire product is knitted using these stitches.

For the initial set of loops, we fold the end of the thread into two or three folds. Then we begin to tie this twist with single crochets, using the thread as a base. In total, we will need 6 such columns for the circle, after which we connect them into a circle with a connecting loop (there may be more initial loops, the number depends on the diameter of the bead and the thickness of the thread itself, the main thing is that there is not too large a hole in the center of the circle).

Step 2: forming columns

Next, we begin to form columns row by row, making even increments so that the result is a small pancake. When the diameter of the pancake is slightly smaller than the diameter of the bead, you can stop making decreases. We knit several rows without increasing, and you will see how the shape of the pancake begins to round out.

We knit this way until about the middle of the bead (we periodically try it on for our binding so as not to make a mistake with the sizes).

Step 3: make decreases

After half the ball is ready, you can form rows with uniform decreases. how to do this is shown in great detail on step by step diagram crocheting beads.

When the bead is completely hidden in the rows of the binding, we form a knot, but do not cut the thread yet. You need to leave a fairly long tail. We pull it through the hole of the bead, where we form knots again. After this, the thread can be cut completely.

(the ball is tied using the same principle). In this lesson, we invite you to familiarize yourself with another way to tie a ball. Some will probably find it simpler than the previous one, because you just need to tie two circles and sew them together, leaving a small hole into which the ball is inserted, after which this hole is sewn up.

So, first we need to knit a circle. We do it like this:

1) Knit 5 chain stitches. Lock them into a ring using a connecting post

2) Knit in the 1st round row instead of the first half-stitch 2 air loops and 9 half-columns, inserting the hook inside the ring of air loops.

3) Knit as many half-columns from each loop as necessary. At the end, knit 1 connecting stitch from the next loop.

When knitting a circle, you can use this pattern

We continue tying the ball: we knit 2 identical circles using the above method and finish knitting each of them with a connecting stitch.

After this we need to sew both circles. We do it like this:

1. Place the circles wrong sides together.

2. Thread the tapestry needle and tie a knot at the end.

3. Sew the circles around the edge using tight stitches.

4. Place a Styrofoam ball into the unsewn hole. If necessary, cover it with additional cotton wool. If you are using another material as a filler, form it into a ball.

5. Squeeze the ball slightly to seal the edges and sew the hole tightly.

Why do you need to crochet a ball?

If you decide to learn how to knit amigurumi toys or decide to teach this to your children, then you will certainly first need to learn how to knit various figures that will become the basis for amigurumi toys. In particular, the body of an amigurumi toy is usually made from a tied ball. Here you can read how to knit an amigurumi kitten.

Also, if you want to make stylish crocheted beads with your own hands, then you can also use our instructions to crochet large beads or balls. Important: if you need to tie beads, use thin yarn and a thin hook.

Crocheted wooden or plastic beads will come in handy if you want to make some kind of decoration with your own hands, for example, baby sling beads.

In addition, soft textured beads can be used in the manufacture of homemade children's toys.

What do you need to get started?

All we need is thread (you can use leftovers) and a hook.

What threads are best to use?

In my opinion, cotton threads are best material for tying beads. I often use Iris and cotton threads in my work. Melange cotton yarn also looks very good. When choosing the thickness of the thread, it is better to choose ones that are not very thin, since it is much more difficult to knit with them, but if it is a little thicker, then you just need to take a thicker hook.

What hook?

I use a 1.3 hook in my products, then I get larger beads and relief knitting - this is my style! In general, all craftswomen choose this tool within the size range from 0.6 to 1.5. First, you should try knitting a sample in several rows to see if the hook and thread are the right size for each other.

Let's start tying!

Any crochet work starts the same way: we knit a chain of 3-6 air loops, enclose it in a ring.

We tie the ring with single crochets:

We try on a bead to the resulting mug. If the diameter of the circle is slightly larger than the bead (i.e. the circle is slightly visible at the edges, as in the photo), you can continue to knit without expanding, just in a circle.

We continue to knit in the circle without adding loops to the height of the bead, periodically trying on the bead in the “cap”.

When the bead begins to noticeably narrow, leave it in knitted hat and begin decreasing the loops. To do this, we knit one loop into two: we grab the thread and pull it through the loop, then we grab another thread in the next loop. We pull the main thread through everything at once. Thus, we combine two loops.

Immediately position the hole in the bead so that you don’t have to look for it when the bead is all tied. The last loop must be pulled through the penultimate one so that the edge lies evenly - and in the end, our bead is covered with a knitted fabric. We cut the thread and pull the tail through the fabric to hide it there.

All! Hooray! The bead is ready!

This is how the bead turned out in the end. According to the given pattern, we knit beads of other colors.

A bead tied with threads of different colors will look great. The binding can be thick, textured, or thin, like jewelry - it will depend on how thick the thread you used and what kind of hook you used for the work.

How to crochet a bead tightly and openwork crochet. MK.
Hi all. I'll show you today how to crochet a bead. Such beads can be used in jewelry - beads, bracelets, in various decor. In this MK I'll show you how to tie a bead tightly.

So, for this we need: yarn (preferably thinner than “iris”), a bead (preferably with a diameter of 15 millimeters, because they are easier to tie. If the bead is even larger in diameter, then you can use “iris”), hook No. 1.

Armed, let's start knitting. We will knit in a circle in a spiral. We make a ring and tie it with 6 double crochet stitches. The row is not washed with a connecting stitch, but we immediately knit two more single crochet stitches in the first stitch - this is the second row. In it you need to double each loop = 12 loops. In the next row, double stitches every other to make 18. In the next row, 24 and 30.

It turns out this is the bottom. The number of rows depends on the diameter of the bead and the thickness of your yarn. That is, the diameter of the bottom should be approximately equal to the diameter of the bead. When we have achieved this, we begin to knit further single crochets, but without any additions.

It turns out to be such a hat. We insert our bead into it.

And then we very carefully begin to knit, decreasing the rows and not removing the bead. First, we decrease six loops in each row (the same way as we added), that is, we knit two double crochet stitches together = minus one loop.

We tie it in this way, decreasing until the end, until the bead is closed.

We cut the thread and carefully hide it. The bead is ready! You can make striped beads, just change the colors of the yarn while knitting. You can take already colored (melange) yarn and tie a bead with it.

Let's be patient and move forward! Crochet a bead- very painstaking work, but the result is worth it. good luck in your creativity!

We crochet the bead. Openwork version.

For tying, we will need thin yarn (the thinner the better), hook No. 1, and a bead.

First, we make a ring and knit single crochets into it. The number of stitches depends on the size of your bead. I have 12 double crochet stitches. We do not close the row with a connecting stitch, but immediately begin to knit arches from 3 chain loops, attaching them with a double crochet stitch to each stitch of the previous row. Once again, I repeat that the number of arches and columns depends on the size of your bead

Place the bead into the resulting hat and continue knitting the arches further.
