A strand of beads is a great addition to any outfit. Exactly knitting allows you to make it even, and even uncalibrated beads will look great.
To make a tourniquet you will need:
- Small hook;
- Crochet threads (I use “Iris”);
- Beads No. 10 (15-20 g);
- A needle with a small eye for stringing beads;
- End caps (2 pcs.) Pins (2 pcs.)
- Round nose pliers;
- Lock.
Let's start weaving:
1) Pour the beads into a convenient flat container (you can use a saucer). We thread the thread into the needle without breaking it from the ball.
2) We collect beads on the thread. The length of the thread with beads is 80-100 cm.
3) Make a loop, as when casting on loops, for crocheting.
4) We knit one loop.
5) Adjust the bead and secure it with a new loop.
6) Similar to the fifth point, we knit 4 more beads.
7) We close the set of loops with beads into a ring; to do this, we knit the first and last loop together.
8) Insert the hook into the first loop, under the thread on which the bead is located (to the left of the bead).
We adjust the new bead and knit it. Using this principle, we knit the entire tourniquet (in a circle). It is worth considering that the density of the knitting plays an important role; the tighter the loops are tightened, the smoother the beads lie.
9) The length of the harness must be determined taking into account the future lock. The last row is knitted in the same way as the previous ones, only without adjusting the beads.
10) To complete the bracelet, bend the pin using pliers and bring it out through the center.
11) We put on a bead and a lock.
12) Cut off the excess wire and bend it into a ring. Using the same principle, we design the second end of the bracelet.
