WIRE CROCHET - ВЯЗАНИЕ КРЮЧКОМ ИЗ ПРОВОЛОКИ /БЕЗ ПЕРЕВОДА/

As long as it is fine enough, wire is easy to crochet with, even though it takes a little practice to produce even stitches. As with string crochet, it is best to stick to simple single crochet for wire—more exotic stitches are difficult to distinguish among the bendy, airy wire loops. Adding beads to wire crochet is the best way to jazz it up and turn it into simple jewelry like the easy-to-make, bendy bangle shown here.

CROCHETING A BEADED WIRE BANGLE 1 The easiest wire thickness to crochet with is a 28-gauge (0.3 mm) copper wire, which can be obtained online from craft stores or stores that sell jewelry supplies. For this wire size, you will need a size D-3 US (3 mm) crochet hook. 2 Thread all the beads onto the wire before you begin crocheting with it. The bangle worked here uses about 27 glass beads (6–7 mm in diameter), but it is always best to string on about 10 more than you think you’ll need, in case you have miscalculated. 3 Make your own chart for your bead jewelry, showing where the beads are to be placed. This is the chart used for the simple bangle. (See pp.124–125 for how to work bead crochet.) 4 Using the wire with the beads on it, make 8 chains to start the featured bangle. Then follow the chart to work the beaded crochet, working the stitches loosely. Whenever the position of a bead is reached (always on a wrong-side row), work up to the last yo of the stitch, then slide the bead up close to the crochet and complete the stitch. Count the stitches frequently to make sure you still have the correct number. 5 Work the bangle until it is the desired length. End with a right-side (nonbead) row so that the wrong side will be facing for the next row. Place the other end of the bangle behind the next row and work the last row through both layers of the bangle by inserting the hook through the foundation chain of the second layer as shown. 6 After completing the single crochet seam, cut the wire and fasten off. Darn in the wire tails along the single crochet seam, using a blunt-ended yarn needle and wrapping the wire tightly a few times around the edge of the crochet. Then cut off the remaining wire close to the bangle. Turn the bangle right side out. You can also make plain wire crochet bangles and decorate them once they have been completed. This bangle has been worked plain without any beads. Buttons have been sewn along the center of the bangle with a bright contrasting silk button thread. *********************************** Схемы в комментах под фото, которое выше /кликните по картинке дважды и прокрутите колесико мышки вниз/ .. или по ссылке в блоге https://www.liveinternet.ru/users/merlettka/post480824754/ *********************************** #WIRECROCHET #Вязаниекрючкомизпроволоки #Декоративноеплетениеизпроволоки #MerlettKA #всеруками #поделкиизпроволоки #wirewrap #украшенияизпроволоки #кружевоизпроволоки, #филигрань
