Crochet Beads

I have a new pattern on Ravelry - for crochet beads.

3 Crochet beads


You can download it here.

I originally made the beads with my 4 1/2 year-old granddaughter in mind.  I made them in white cotton, with the idea that she could colour each one as she pleased, using felt-tip pens.

The idea is to string them together on round, hat elastic, to make them safe for her to wear.

The beads could also be made into a bracelet, or the head of a teeny-tiny doll or angel, using a simple, gathered circle of pretty material or lace to form the dress.
