Description: Tapestry crocheting with beads is revolutionary! Since more than one color thread is used with tapestry crochet, each thread only needs to be loaded with one bead color. The pattern is formed on one side of the cloth by adding a bead to each stitch and on the other side the colored threads create a design. This method offers fantastic design potential, since the motif does not have to be pre-planned. Students will bead tapestry crochet a bracelet and also learn how to design with tapestry crochet graph paper. Students only need to know the single crochet stitch.
Homework: Students may bring a motif (optional) to incorporate into their bracelet.
