Bead Crochet Necklace with Charm

Here's another Christmas gift. This one is for my sister. She loves lighthouses. I found this charm LONG before I was certain how I'd use it.


We have this bad thing going on right now that everything we send or try to send to each other gets broken. I really, really, REALLY padded this in layers of bubble wrap inside a cushioned box. Let's hope it makes it! =) Either way, she'll get a kick out of the packaging.

  2. That is beautiful! Love the colors. The blue like the sea goes well with the lighthouse charm.

    Merry Christmas!

  3. Nicolette--this one took around 9 hours to make. Sorting the beads and threading them seems to take the longest, but maybe that's just because once I start crocheting it, it's hard to put it down.

    Here's a tutorial how to do it: http://im-in-the-loop.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-crochet-bead-rope.html I'd love to see if you try it! (Chicago isn't THAT far away...)

    Thanks again, ladies! I feel better that it will be well received. ;-)

    Merry Christmas!

  4. Awesome! I have several set of crocheted beads. My Grandmother use to make them and I always wished I had learned how. Maybe with this tutorial I can.
