On the same e-book where I learnt how to do the non – classic beaded rope necklace there were other patterns. (Click on the photos to go the page to download this free book.)
As I also liked the one on the very left I decided to give it a go. At this point I had not realised it was not ‘normal’ crochet, a good thing as I would probably never have given it a try if I had! (It is called Gold Wire Bracelet so no clues there!)
Trustingly I started to give it a go. I didn’t find it easy to start with:
Not quite what I was looking for! (Ear-rings?)
But after re-reading the instructions a few times I got the hang of it 🙂 For those of you who don’t know the difference between crochet and Tunisian crochet – Tunisian crochet is a bit like knitting where you make stitches to leave on the hook and then ‘crochet’ them off on the next row.
After adding some beads I came up with this:
I have to say that I am rather pleased with the way it came out. I am also pleased that I have had a go at Tunisian Crochet – a bit of a mystery up until now. I will definitely be doing it again (now I know that you don’t need a special hook!) Have you ever had a try at Tunisian Crochet?
As always I am heading over to Handmade Harbour to see what everyone else has been up to this week. Do come and have a look too 🙂

Really nice! Well done 🙂
Thank you.

Thank you 🙂
Embarrassed to admit I haven’t heard of Tunisian Crochet, but it looks very pretty. Hope you have a good week.

Do not be embarrassed to admit it. There is no reason why you should have heard of it.
Funnily enough, what I know about crochet could fit onto a postage stamp, but I was shown how to do tunisian crochet yesterday! Feel quite knowledgeable now 😉 Yours looks beautiful! Simmi x
What a coincidence 🙂
I’ve heard of Tunisian crochet but haven’t had a go. The bracelet looks really pretty and the beads really set it off. Have a crafty week.

Thanks you – and you 🙂
I’ve never tried any kind of crochet!
Very elegant bracelet, so delicate and pretty with the suspended beads.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Such a pretty bracelet. I used to do Tunisian crochet – and Broomstick crochet! It was years ago and I still have a broomstick crochet bag and a tunisian crochet tea cosy!
Maybe time to dust off the hook and broomstick! (sounds like a story :))
I have no idea how you make your beautiful jewellery, but it is lovely.
Thanks 🙂
Reblogged this on Zankaj's Blog.
Thank you 🙂
Simply stunning! So delicate. Well done!
Have a good week! x
Thank you very much 🙂
I really enjoy tunisan crochet, I first had a go a few years back and I am pleased to see more people trying it now. When I went to get myself a hook for it, the lady was so excited that someone was buying a hook for its intended purpose as for a long time just fishermen had been buying them to help put bait on hooks! Your work has turned out lovely. Whats next? Knooking? 🙂
Possibly…..:) I would like to do some more Tunisian crochet first though 🙂
What a gorgeous bracelet! Definitely a success and very impressive for a first go at a new technique!!
Tunisian crochet sounds a bit like a martial art…. well do for mastering it! 🙂
Lol. Thanks (if it was a martial art I would not be any good at it I am sure!)
Crochet is something I’ve never done but often admired – your bracelet is definitely another piece to be admired!
Thank you very much. 🙂
Lovely bracelet! I’m intrigued by Tunisian crochet!
I definitely want to do some more!
Very nice work! Tunisan crochet is so fun, I love it.
You really are very talented
You are very kind. Thank you 🙂
I love the bracelet, such a talent you have 🙂
Thank you very much for our kind words 🙂
Looks fantastic. I wonder how many different types of crochet there are.
Hmm good question. Might have to do a bit of research. I think 3.
The bracelet looks delicate and beautiful with the beads added to it. I have never heard of Tunisian crochet either. It certainly looks effective.

Thank you so much 🙂
Thanks for the links.Might have a go at this Some Day.Might have to give up running to make time for it though!
I really like that bracelet, it looks pretty cool. It’s awesome you keep trying new things! 🙂
Thanks – sometimes I wish I could settle down a bit more 😉
I love the bracelet, can it be translated to thread? and i want to try tunisian crochet too 🙂
I am sure that it can – you should check out the free e-book. It gives a starting point.
thx!!
Have never tried tunisian crochet so far but thanks for this insight, I may try it one day. I saw how the fabric looks with tunisian crochet and it is really pretty. When it comes to your bracelet, it is gorgeous, the pearl colours work so well with the wire.
Thank you very much. I thought that Tunisian crochet made a denser fabric but this doesn’t so I am not sure….
very nice
The bracelet looks lovely, the little beads sets it off really well.
Have a good week and I hope the weather improves for you.

Thanks 🙂
Beautiful! I’ve tried tunisian bangles in yarn but not wire, I think your’s is pretty amazing!
Oh thank you so much. It means a lot. 🙂
I really like that mesh bracelet with tiny green beads on them. Very unique as you normally dont see crocheted wired jewellery.There;s some sort of lightness to it, transparency, yet adorned with the green “dew drops”
You are very poetic. Thank so much for your kind words. 🙂
