Puzzles and Patterns for the Bead Crochet Artist
Make a scarf or other fabric item to go with the pattern of your bead crochet bracelet or necklace! The book Crafting Conundrums by Ellie Baker and Susan Goldstine provides the bead crochet pattern, Rattan 8-around, on page 235, which is designed to go with this fabric. I'd recommend ordering a sample on the fabric you want, since the fabric type affects the printing color greatly. You can play with the fabric colors, using the spoonflower tools provided, in order to match the fabric to your beads. In my fabric studio, I also provide a darker version of this same pattern. I'd buy the fabric first and then the beads, if you want the colors to match. I've printed this one in the silk crepe de chine and it comes out a bit muted, but very nice.
