In this workshop, jewelry designer Alix Bluh will show you a simple crochet stitch for beading that offers endless options for customization by using different thread and bead combinations. You’ll also learn how to create different style clasps, and incorporate leather for a less time-intensive project that achieves the same sophisticated look. The fundamentals that you’ll learn in this class can be endlessly adapted to achieve different looks depending on the color thread and gems you chose.
Note: In this class, Alix uses an unconventional crocheted chain stitch to create the foundation chain for her jewelry. While this nontraditional stitch works fine for this class, new crocheters may be interested in learning how to work a traditional chain stitch. Watch Edie Eckman's class on this topic here.

Alix is a great person to learn from and she is clear and concise with the instructions! She tells you all the important information about making the crochet stitches and adding the beads in a pattern that is aesthetically pleasing! Then, she teaches you how to finish the necklace 3 different ways and add adornments to it when you finish the closure! It's a beautiful pattern with so many different design choices and it's absolutely beautiful!
