Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.
This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.
You
can keep this patter as simple as you wish, be reducing the number of beads,
and therefore reducing the fussiness of work – but then of course, it also
reduces the pizzazz of your product.
Decisions..
decisions.. ;)
Depending
on the yarn thickness, you end up with a different product every time.. how
cool is that, right?
Start Round 1 : with a magic circle and 18 dc in it.
Join
with a sl-st to the 1st st.
In
the following round, we just work all round adding our beads… and attaching
this to our hoop.
Now
in case you are not using a hoop, you can work Row 2 and then attach an ear
ring hook to the top.
If
you are working with beads, either you string them in before you start or
string them along as you work.
Check
the top of this blog for useful links on how to work with beads.
You
can work a plain pattern, without adding the beads, and then go back with a
fine needle and thread adding the beads after you are done as well.
Row 2 :
dc + bead + attach to ear ring hoop in the 1st dc ; (ch 1, dc + bead
+ attach to the ear ring hoop in the next dc) ;
rep
(to) 7 times.
Fasten
off and weave in ends.
With
this pattern, you have the beautiful little motif attached to the hoop in 8
spaces at the bottom. It will tip over
if you are using thick yarn – so you must
stiffen it (using fabric stiffener or water insoluble glue from the back) OR
you will need to attach the top of the motif to the top of the ear ring hoop.
In
case you are using just an ear ring hook, then you work the Row 2 pattern
without attaching to the ear ring hoop, and then attaching the hook to the top
centre of the motif.
Finally,
the other thing you can do is work the Row 2 pattern all around. This way, you will have the motif attached to
the hoop all around and have a totally different looking end product.
Go
