44 Bead Crochet Patterns

Did you know you can crochet with beads? It's true! Before you get intimidated, it's truly not as complicated as you think. Though every pattern is unique, and some patterns might call for slightly different steps, the basics are all the same. For learning to crochet with beads, you will just need to get comfortable with stringing beads onto your yarn before you begin.

In this collection of 44 Bead Crochet Patterns, you'll find a variety of fun patterns that are all decorated with such pretty beads! From crochet bracelets, necklaces, and tops, you're sure to find your next favorite crochet project. As you work, you'll pull individual beads into your stitches as you make them, but otherwise, they're fine bunching up near your skein of yarn.

Crochet jewelry patterns are quick and simple little projects, perfect for making a just-because gift or to fill a specific gap in your closet. You can make your best friend a crochet bracelet with beads, scarf, or a purse.

Adding beads to that finished project, though, instantly dazzles your final design and gives it that extra sparkle that's sure to make heads turn. Before you sit down and begin to crochet, make sure you're happy with your yarn and your beads together - it's worth it to be extra picky with your final choice. Read your pattern carefully for suggestions, and keep reading for our own tips and tutorial on how to crochet with beads!

How to Crochet with Beads

If you need a visual, the video above will do the trick. Don't forget to keep scrolling for some of our favorite bead crochet patterns!

Crocheting with beads allows you to get creative with your crochet designs. There are of course a few different methods you can use to crochet with beads, so you have to decide which method is going to be easiest for you. To prepare, make sure you follow these tips:

  1. First, find your crochet jewelry or accessory pattern and take note of all the main materials - most bead crochet projects are made with crochet thread, but you can use regular yarn or even crochet with wire for a unique look! (The technique is the same!)
     
  2. Make sure your chosen beads have holes big enough to slip yarn, thread, or wire through - if you think you'll have trouble, a yarn needle should be helpful.
     
  3. Does your project also need any clasps, jump rings, or fastenings? Make sure you have those ready to go for instant satisfaction when you're done.

Once you have your materials all ready to go, read your crochet jewelry pattern and count out how many beads you need for your project - then, string those on to the yarn. As stated above, those can bunch up near your yarn skein or ball until you're ready to work them into your stitches. Next, follow along with your pattern, or for a simple and straightforward method: 
  1. Insert your crochet hook into the back loop of the stitch, yarn over and pull through.
     
  2. You'll then slide the bead up close to the loops, yarn over and pull through both loops. This holds the bead in place on the wrong side of your work.

Jewelry is not something I normally associate with crochet. Thats actually somewhat odd because Ive worked plenty of macram and tatted jewelry patterns, so crochet wouldnt be that far a leap. I have worked a few of the patterns in the post, and at least one more has caught my eye. I keep plenty of beads for other projects, so I might give a few more of these a go.

I love combining my two all time passions crochet and beading. This set of patterns for 16 bead and button crochet jewelry accessories was a great find on your site. I am definitely putting the featured bracelet on my to do now list. Cant wait to see how it turns out.

I have done a little crocheting with beads, but not enough to be proficient in it. I can't wait to try some of these awesome patterns. I think crocheting with beads is a great way to enhance the crochet, and give yourself something different to try once in awhile. All of these patterns look beautiful.

Wow I love all of these 16 How to Crochet with Beads and Buttons patterns. The patterns are well written and quite easy to follow and understand. Some even have pictures or videos to help show what to do. When at resale stores I look for beads and save them for crafts just like this. I'm looking forward to doing a few of these and I think it will add some more interest in learning for the grandkids. Thank you so much for sharing these free crochet patterns.

Thank you so much. I use to make jewelry with wires and beads. Then I went back to my first love which is crochet. I was thinking if crocheting jewelry but the instruction books are very expensive. Being on a fixed income, I just couldn't afford them. Now I see this for free. Marvelous! Thank you so very much, you made my day!

thank you so much for this. i make jewelry .. now i have something new to try :D

i want to know why i cant print out the button necklace the pattern comes up but i cant print it

You have to print the pattern from the original designer's blog post. We do not have a print option. Thanks, Editor at AllFreeCrochet.

This tutorial looks so easy. I make my own earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Now I have a new look. Thank you so much!!!
