This collection holds patterns for 11 bead-crochet jewellery and 2 scarves. The patterns are derived from a series of crochet jewellery patterns called “Natural Tendencies.” From the basic crochet lace strips, the addition of beads - in some cases replacing the picots - creates a new and delicate design. The last two patterns, worked in heavier weight yarn (fingering and aran), demonstrate the possibility of bringing delicate crochet lace to the creation of new items.

So just imagine more derivatives from these patterns, by changing variables such as yarn weight, colour and beads - to make crochet jewellery, scarves, belts, collars, trims for lingerie, garments and home decor, appliqué for greeting cards and many others. More complex derivatives may result to new patterns in the design of shawls, skirts, veils and dresses - a challenge I’d like to take up in the next series.

HAPPY CROCHETING!!
