With basic crochet skills and a supply of beads, it’s easy to
create jewelry to complement any fashion or occasion. Lavish bead crochet
emerged in the early 1800’s along with other forms of elaborate needlework.
Bead crochet first appeared on the market in the 1830’s, and enjoyed
popularity through the 1950’s. The last decade of the 20th century saw
a crochet revival which continues today. As artists combine new fiber techniques
with old crochet patterns, bead crochet is being reinvented. The author has
rated each design in the book as either beginner, easy, intermediate, or experienced.
