Spring Flower Bracelet - EDITED

[jaclim]

I promised a few weeks ago to post the pattern for my beaded spring flower bracelet. Sorry I was only able to post it just now as our phone line was dead for 8 days.....:angry:grumpy :headache And I'm on dial-up. Well, here it is finally!

Spring Flower Bracelet
* Finished length of bracelet is 7" excluding toggle and clasp. For the closure, I used acrylic bead that is 3/4" long and passed the thread through the hole of the bead 2x for strength. You may use lobster clasp or any findings you like instead of the bead.

Materials:
size 10 crochet thread in ecru
size 8 seed beads in 5 colors of your choice
steel hook #6 ( I crochet loosely)
1 clear acrylic bead 3/4" long

Round 1 - String 10 pcs of size 8 seed beads of each color 5 times for a total of 250 seed beads. Remember that the last color strung will be the first one crocheted. Pass thread through the hole of the acrylic bead and tie it once centering the knot. Pass the thread through the hole once again and knot it twice. Make sure it is snug.
Round 2 - Chain 67. Slip stitch into 6th chain from hook to form a loop. Sc 10x into loop to form a ring. (to fit the acrylic bead which will serve as a closure for your bracelet)

Round 3 - Sl st into the next 5 ch previously made. *Ch 7, sl st into base of chain. Make 10 sc's with seed beads into the ring made to form a 'flower'. Sl st into the next 2 chains. Repeat * until you've used up all the seed beads strung. You should have a total of 25 'flowers' for your bracelet. Sl st into the last 5 remaining ch. Tie off. Weave in ends.

This is my second time to write out a pattern. Feel free to ask questions if you don't understand any part of the pattern.:)

Happy crocheting!

[Empress Busy Bee]

Very pretty. I hope some day to give it a try. :cheer

[emeraldmoon]

That is so cool looking. Now my teenage daughter will like that.. She is so picky, but that she will like.. Thanks for sharing the pattern. I will have to put that one on my list to make..

[mumbles17]

Thanks Jackie for posting the pattern. Something my daughter would love to do!
Printing now !

[jaclim]

You are all welcome.....how about posting a pic if anyone makes up this bracelet? Would love to see your creations.....:manyheart

Hmmmm......I think this will be pretty using black thread with silver lined gold and silver beads for a dressier effect. :)

[sem464]

Thanks, I have been waiting for you to post this pattern. :manyheart Just love the bracelet. I know my daughter will like it.:hug

[bythehook]

Oh, that is so cute! Thanks for sharing the pattern.

[lilacsandroses]

Jackie,
I have been checking every day to see if you had posted the pattern. Thank you. I can't wait to make it. How many seed beads do we need? One or 2 packages of each color? I don't know if I have enough in my stash that coordinate. I hope so, otherwise I have to wait a few weeks before I go to the city. I think I'll make matching ones for myself and my daughter. She loves bracelets.
Thanks again,
Melanie

[crochetaddict033]

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy! Thanks so so much for sharing this pattern. I am making my girls and myself one! :yay :cheer :clap :hug

Who great idea.. I actually have some expensive gold seed beads that I had bought to make a purse for my mom one year, I still have some left over.. shoot those things cost me 45bucks for a hank because they are real gold.. I could make that to match my moms purse for mothers day..

[kittylou]

That's so cute! My daughter will love it. Thanks!:)

[dennymare]

Very pretty, I am definately going to being making one of these.:cheer Mary

[TepperWear]

Congrats on the pattern. I love this bracelet. It is so pretty and different from anything else I've seen. Can't wait to make it. I'm just reading the pattern and I'm a little confused. If you tie the acrylic bead to the end of your yarn, how do you then get the small beads strung. I think I'm missing something.

You're welcome, Melanie! You need 50 pcs of seed beads for each color for the bracelet. I think a 10-gram pack of beads is more than enough to make bracelets for you and your daughter. :hook

:oops You're right! You have to string all the beads first before tying the acrylic bead. Sheeesh.....thanks for pointing that out to me. I'll edit my pattern. :)

[Julie]

Yay Jackie! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! :D

[Elkoo]

That is absoloutely the cutest bracelet. I have to make one for my teen daughter.
Marina

[lilacsandroses]

Thanks Jackie!

[sugalily]

Thanks for sharing!!

I just have one question, since I'm not creative like a bunch of you guys here... :blush How long of a string of thread do you need to start the bracelet? :blink

:think Lily

[adultramblings]

Oh my, that is the cutest thing!

[jaclim]

Thanks for sharing!!

:think Lily

Just string your beads from the ball, Lily.....don't cut the thread from the ball/skein. It took me about 2 hours to finish 1 bracelet. Believe me, the hardest part of the bracelet was the stringing! :lol

[SquirrelWolfs]

Very nice, Thank you :manyheart

[barb]

What a great creation! I'd love to make this as an anklet, I think I'd need it to be about 9" long instead of 7". Any tips on how to adjust the pattern to make it longer?

TIA!

[Chatty]

You'd have to string on more beads and make the starting ch longer, how much longer I don't know.

:frog

[klouised]

Thanks a lot for the pattern! I'm going to make myself one. I'm thinking silver lined beads in different colors. It's just my style. I'll post a pic when I make one. Oooh! How fun! I think I can make up some earrings to go with it.

[Kathleen]

Jackie! You and your bead crochet talent-- Wonderful!! This is just lovely! Thank you for sharing the pattern!

[SassyThreads]

:sun Thank you Jackie for the beautiful bracelet pattern. I have been looking for a crocheted bracelet for little girls. This one is perfect:yay :yay

[jaclim]

What a great creation! I'd love to make this as an anklet, I think I'd need it to be about 9" long instead of 7". Any tips on how to adjust the pattern to make it longer?

TIA!

Chain 73 instead of 67 after adding 40 more beads making a total of 290 beads strung. :D

[Etaria]

That is soo sweet! I love it! Great job and excellent design!

[sadie]

That's beautiful! I love it!! :drool

[mimi_mia]

Jackie, I just saw your bracelet today for the first time, it's really beautiful, I think I would like to make it longer and use it as an ankle bracelet!!! Thanks for posting the pattern :hook

[donnalynn2]

It looks so cute! I just haven't crocheted with beads yet so I'm a little nervous. But I think after I'm done with Christmas presents I'll give this one a try!

[Kymberlina]

It's beautiful! Thanks for sharing! :)

[DebbyinLV]

That is so beautiful! Your really creative!

[Candyjo]

:clap Wow! I really like this. You could do so many things using this as trim. Wouldn't this look really great around a lamp shade? Great job!

[jaclim]

Thanks! Actually, I've used this as a 'neckline' for my beaded wine bottle topper. :-)
I'd love to see pics when you make this for a lampshade! :-)))))))

[crochetkim]

That really is absolutely adorable! I love it!

[Kellycat]

Wow that is really pretty, and something that my daughter would also enjoy. Heck I would like it for myself as well.

Thanks for the pattern!

[Yasmin]

Jacki,
Thanx for the lovely pattern,It looks so pretty. I'll post a picture of this as soon I get it done . Thanx again for the pattern.
Yasmin

[brenmichelle20]

looks like an project I may try to do this spring...Very pretty.

[Yasmin]

Hi ! I've finally managed to upload the picture of Jacki's Spring Flower Bracelet. Finished days ago but couldn't manage to upload the picture. Thank you , Jacki for the lovely pattern. I'll post the picture in the show n tell. (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?p=263103#post263103)

:manyheart I love this bracelet! It's awesome!

[Shelleden]

That bracelet is darling! I printed it off to make it for my GD. I have one question though. In reading thru the pattern, Round 2 says Slit stitch (I'm assuming that's a typo meaning slip stitch) into 60th chain to form a loop. Since I haven't sat down to actually make it yet, maybe I'm just confused, but do you mean 6th chain possibly? I can't wait to try it! If I can find my beads somewhere in all this confusion of a craft room! Thanks so much. You should send your design to a crochet mag!!! I bet it would get published! :hug Thanks again!

[sarahq]

That's a lovely bracelet. I've never tried to crochet with beads, but this pattern has got to go on my project list.

Thanks for sharing it!

~Sarah

[Beverly]

This is so gorgeous. I'm just getting into working with beads. I can't wait to get the time (in other words...get other stuff done) to get started on one of these. :yay

[nevadamama]

:2rock
TOO CUTE!

I don't crochet with thread but this pattern was just too cute to pass up. Maybe some day I'll give it a try.
:flower
Thanks for sharing!

[angelfire]

I am going to make this for my preteen granddaughter. She loves pretty things and she is learning to crochet herself, this should give her a great boost.

[amdm]

I really loved this pattern when I first saw it, but I am too old to wear it. However, I made it into zip pulls for one of my crochet bags and it is a wonderful finishing touch. Thank you for the pattern.

[schmobes]

Makes me want to learn bead crochet!

[macgillie]

Here's mine; hope you like it. Thanks for the pattern! I didn't have a long bead so I crocheted around a white pony bead and am using that for the closure. Seem to be working ok so far...

I was scrolling though all the older posts and found your bracelet. It is just what I was looking for for a birthday gift. I thought I wanted a heart doily for a cushion and look what I ended up finding, something so much better! Thanks for sharing this pattern.
