Crochet Pattern: Beaded Bangles
By Amy Yarbrough – 14 Comments| Essentially, this is a pattern for covering a bracelet with crochet. I used parts from an automotive (my Dad’s a mechanic) but you can use a plain bracelet from the craft store. The stitch count my vary, especially if you choose a band that is smaller in diameter than mine, but the basic idea is to single crochet around the band until you are satisfied, adding your choice of beads at even intervals. Have fun! |  |

Row 1: string 25 beads onto the yarn and push them down and out of the way. Make a slip knot and bring it to the front of the band leaving the working yarn behind it, pull up a loop and ch 1 over ring, *6 sc into ring, pull a bead up close to the hook, ch 1 with bead, push bead up to make sure it is visible, repeat from * until you have used all the beads or the band is wrapped as tightly as desired, sl st to beginning sc: 150 sc

Thanks for the idea I am allergic to a lot of metals and this is a great idea!
hi can u just show the pictures how you made it…
Hi Riddhi,
I’m sorry but this picture is all I have. It wasn’t intended to be a photo tutorial. Sorry.

Great idea, I’ll give this a try with some old bangles that I have.
Any tips for hiding the tail?
Hi Victoria,
I simply wove them in with a small needle. Anything goes, just so the tails don’t show.

I’ve made ponytail holders similar to this and have trouble hiding the tails without making a lump. Maybe it just takes practice?
Hmm, I’ve never tried crocheting over ponytails. But with the bangles, I just wove them around the inside of the band. Since it isn’t stretchy the tail shouldn’t work out. One thing I have found helpful is to turn and go back the same direction you came.

You list “automotive” as your source for the bangles. What automotive? Specifically, what do we call that part when looking for it at the local auto supply?Sounds like it might be cheaper than bangles and I would at least like to try them.
They are exhaust rings. My Dad got them directly from the vehicles, already used, so I wouldn’t know if you could find them at a typical auto store. As for the price, I wouldn’t know that either. You might find them online if you can’t find them in a store.
Hope this has been helpful!

You could also use a dead glowstick as a base, then you have re-used and made something pretty 🙂
