How to Crochet Wire Rings

Posted: 30 May 2011 04:00 AM PDT

Trust me. Wire crochet jewelry is actually easier than the yarn variety. The reason is the technique is very forgiving as you don't have to make perfect wire loops.

This Bead Club video tutorial for a crochet wire filigree ring is just the ticket for a small project.The instructor shows how to easily correct slight flaws.As this is a plain band, knitting with small needles will also work.



Abigail's Crafts Howto Blog has a another tutorial for an informal wire crochet ring. She recommends metal crochet hooks. She uses 3 mm. I suggest trying other sizes to get the look you want. Small beads may also be added.



If you have more experience, then check out Kate Pullen's tutorial for a crochet ring with a cabochon setting.  Make it bigger and add a clasp and you've got a bracelet!
