Pink and purple handcrafted beaded jewelry - free crochet bracelet pattern with beads

Today, we will join colorful threads with metal beads! It is a fresh new day, a new season and we are in an ecstatic mood here.  The memories from our last handcrafted beaded jewelry have been fading out of our minds, and our wrists have wanted a new free crochet bracelet pattern with beads for a while.

Materials and tools for the bracelet:

4*5mm silvery metal alloy beads

1mm pink nylon thread

1mm purple nylon thread

White button bead

Scissors

Instructions:

Step 1: Create a loop 

1st, fold the purple nylon thread, leave a 2cm loop atop and make a pair (or single) of square knots with pink thread;

2nd, cross left arm of purple thread over its right one;

3rd, push the purple thread aside and cross pink thread;

4th, continue to do this kind of 4 –strand-braiding.

Step 2: Braid the beaded part

1st, when the braiding length reaches 1/3 of wrist circumference, start to add beads;

2nd, add silvery beads to both sides of pink thread, braid them in and when they go out, continue beading and braiding;

3rd, when the beaded length reaches another 1/3 of wrist circumference, start to braid without beads;

4th, finish the last 1/3 by braiding.

Step 3: Finish the beaded bracelet

1st, thread the 4 lengths through the holes of a button and tie double knots over it;

2nd, trim off any excess threads from the knots.

The finalized design looks like this:

Our tutorial for a pink and purple handcrafted beaded bracelet is finished! The main skill to master for this free crochet bracelet pattern with beads is just the 4-strand braiding technique. 

Tip: In order to make the pattern symmetrical, always cross out the middle two strands at the same time.
