THE BEADING GEM'S JOURNAL

My crochet and chain bracelet tutorial was a hit last year. The metal chain was the starting or foundation row to different versions of the basic technique. But I am not the only one who thought about making yarn and chain bracelets. The following tutorials cover the chain with thread but they were accomplished differently.

The above crochet yarn and chain bracelet tutorial is by Claudia and Andrea over at Super Ziper.The blog is in Portuguese so use Google Translate if you need to. But the pictures and the helpful video in the post should be enough.

Ros and Yuu of Operation Overhaul did a colorful embroidery thread wrapped version which does not require crocheting. Using two colors is inspired! They just did simple but neat buttonhole stitch. You don't need to but using a needle will help make the process go faster. You can easily add jump rings and a clasp as a closure instead of their tying method.
