Sometimes the pattern will use special abbreviations such as bch for "bead chain", which refers to bringing one bead close to the hook, and completing a yarn over and pull through to secure the bead in a chain.
Other patterns simply describe what to do without using special abbreviations. Add chains. Not all crochet patterns do this but typically you add a chain space or two between beads on most crochet projects; in this example there is a ch 3 between each bead. You can complete a very simple bead crochet necklace using just these steps. It will be a long foundation necklace-length chain with beads that you slip stitch closed at the end of the project.

Bead Crochet: How to cover a ball Monday, 15 June We learn step by step how to cover a crochet bead ball. Let's start! This will create a ring. Insert Crochet Hook Pull Through. Insert your crochet hook into the next chain stitch on the ring.
Push a bead along the thread until it rests near the ring. Grab the thread just behind the bead with your crochet hook and pull the thread through the chain stitch and the loop on your crochet hook. Repeat Step four until your ring has the number of beads desired for the first row of your rope.
In this case that is five beads. Working from the Base Insert your crochet hook into the loop under the first bead. Repeat step six with the remaining beads in the row in this case four more times for a total of five beads in the row.

If you aren't doing a pattern in your bead crochet, a bead spinner is the only way to go. It will work with different size seed beads, like you'd find in a nice cup of bead soup, and it'll do the job quickly.
It's great for bead crochet with wire, as well. For any pattern work in bead crochet where you have to count the beads, a short big eye needle or a twisted wire needle works well with seed beads in size 11 o and larger.
If you're using smaller beads, like size 15 o seed beads, Tulip now offers large-eye, twisted wire needles that are perfect for the job of stringing beads onto your crochet thread. When I'm stringing patterns for my bead crochet, I string little bits of paper between repeats to tell where I am. This works well when I need to count multiples of a repeat, and it's a godsend when I have a stringing error because I can go back to a known point to fix it.
To check my patterns, the best idea I've come across is to write down the stringing table, string a complete repeat, and attach it to an index card. Then you can hold your strung work up to the card and quickly check it for accuracy. File the pattern and strung section on the index card for future work with that pattern. Contrary to what many bead crocheters are told, there is no reason in the world to string more than 36" to 40" of beads at one time.
Pushing them down the thread frays your crochet thread and is a nuisance. String your longer ropes in sections and just add in thread. I have a great free tutorial available on my website that shows you how to securely add new thread to your bead crochet projects so that you don't have to struggle with long sections of seed beads and worn out crochet thread!
