Beaded Double Crochet Tutorial
Do you love crocheting and beading? Well then, you just combine the two. This post will explain to you how I crocheted the beaded double crochet (BDC). It is actually very easy.
What you will need:
So first you will need some beads that are 1/8 inches in diameter, some #2 yarn, a needle (I used a bendable one with an adjustable eye, see the video to get a better idea) and a 2.75mm hook. That’s all.
Instructions:
First you add the beads onto the yarn using the needle and push them back as much as you can.
Then you either make a foundation double crochet (fdc) or a chain with a row of double crochet. Then I slip stitched to connect the ends and and go in rounds.
Then for the second round, started with making a chain of 3 and then I used normal double crochets, but every other one I added a bead. Very easy.
So when you make a double crochet, you yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through 2, add the bead, yarn over and pull through 2. Done. To understand exactly I added the beads, please watch the video below.

Really helpful clip. I love the beads you are using. Where did you bet them.
You know. I do not remember. I bought them several years ago. But I believe either a beading store or Michaels. Sorry I can’t be more specific. Hope that helps?
Oops just saw my typo. Thanks for your quick response. I live in Australia so will just hunt around online. Cheers
I love this look!
What will your finished product be? What products would be beneficial to adding the beads?
This weekend I will publish the pattern. Mine is a wrist band. It is very pretty?
It can also be used for headbands, gloves, hats, scarfs. I do not know if I would use it for blankets. Also washing needs to be considered. I guess hand wash only. And mild detergent.
Hope that helps?
Did you skip a dc in between each dc? Your video looks like you did.
For this tutorial, I placed a bead onto every other double crochet. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for your question.
Hi! I have made a few crochet bracelets with beads and they are really beautiful! I would like to try this next! Very pretty and unique. I will need to head out to the store for #2 yarn because I only have #4 and crochet thread. I am excited to try this – maybe for a hat! Thanks for sharing! H~ P.S. Do I detect a slight German accent?
Thank you for your comment! And yes, I am German. You too? 🙂
How many beads did you use? What does the finished bracelet measure?
Please click the link for the Beaded Bracelet as that will answer your first question. I will update the measurements of the bracelet later. Thanks for mentioning and asking that:-)
