z.Wire Crochet Bracelet – Riotous Garden (CC0157)

March 10, 2014 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: Bracelets/Cuffs, CREATIONS

This was my first wire crochet bracelet. Created for Audrey and inspired by Kristin St. Clair tutorial which appeared in Make It: Live from Tucson article and found at Martha Stewart’s The Craft Depot.

March 8, 2014 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: Crochet - How To, HOW TO

This is just a quick tip and not an essential for the making of a bead crochet rope lariat.
If your crochet lariat is to have tassels at one end, with a loop/clasp at the other (as shown), then it is advantageous to make use of the inherent form of the bead crochet loop.
