In reading the stringing chart do I read row 1 left to right and row 2 right to left and so on? T y. I can't wait to start this gorgeous bangle.

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hi Diane, it would be strung left to right for all rows. You may find additional information on bead crochet rope here --->www.fusionbeads.com/crocheted-rope

[@cindyleah3411]

Beautiful pattern, and very easy to follow tutorial. Thanks! One question though. There are no knots at the end to secure it. I can't imagine how this wouldn't come undone. Maybe I could tie some half hitch knots at the end, then bury the thread?

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hello! Sorry for the delay - I missed this question. I checked with Katie, the designer, and here is what she said: No knots needed! The slip stitch you make at the beginning becomes a knot on the starting end (basically) and when you slip the thread through the loop on the end side, that creates another knot and then weaving the ends together and weaving the ends into the bracelet somehow miraculously are enough that you don’t need any other knots! It’s magic! I second guessed it too when I started making them, but I’ve made over a hundred bracelets by now and haven’t had any problem with them coming apart. I hope that helps - enjoy making this bracelet! (and I can attest to Katie making over a hundred - she made a color wheel of bracelets!)

[@cindyleah3411]

Awesome! Thanks so much!

@@FusionBeadsSea Would love to get the pattern for this. I tried following the link for the pattern above but it didn’t take me to your website.

None of the pattern links are working...neither the sunset nor sea breeze links, nor does the inspiration link way down below. Are there any archives for these?

[@melissabarham4837]

I couldn't find it these things either.

[@christianebeckham809]

I think the reason is because Fusion Beads is no longer in business.

[@fifenhorn]

@@christianebeckham809 I understand, but they should either pull this video, or remake it with beads that can be purchased. Or just change the title and explain that the fusion beads are no longer available but any beads can be used.

[@michellewild5804]

Beautiful! Can S cord be used in place of pearl cotton thread?

[@lindathompson8999]

Does it make a difference if you wrap the thread over or under the needle? I notice everyone in the tutorials does both in random order.

Love it! Cotton or nylon thread? I luv the perle thread. Toho bead okay? Thank you!

[@tjrasp]

Will this tube style need supported from collapsing? Ie type of tubing or cording? How many grams of beads?

[@FaithHerrington]

How do you get it to stay firm and not floppy after you connect?

[@chrissysunpopular]

How long does this takes for beginners? And what if you mess up?

[@RenaHobbsphotography]

How do you figure out beads to wrist size ratio? So I have a larger wrist and wonder how I would make one to fit mine?

[@evaloeckx2367]

Is the chart still available for download? I get a 404 error...

[@angela1977able]

I love it. OMG!! it looks easy to do. one question my wrist is small 6.3 how many beads should I need?

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hello - this piece has written instructions on our website here: s3.amazonaws.com/FusionBeads/pdf/inspiration_198109.pdf The instructions explain how to size the bracelet - here is what they say: This pattern is designed to create a 7 inch bangle bracelet. If you need a longer or shorter bracelet - add or take away six solid colored beads at Rows 3, 18, 33, 48, 63, and 78. 6 rows= 36 beads = ½ inch. So it sounds like you will want to take out 6 rows or 36 beads to make a 6 1/2 inch bracelet - try to remove the solid rows so you keep the nice pattern part - have fun making this!

[@madie72451]

I just added 550 beads then kept measuring it to my wrist as I crocheted it. Quit when it was my size

[@dlb19595]

If you use a different size bead then how do you determine the size of thread to use and the crochet hook to use. Having an issue trying to find 8/0 seed beads and crochet hook and even crochet thread?? Trying to avoid ordering online for my first pass at this project.....thanks!

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hello Donna! We are happy to help! If you would like to size this project down, you could use a size 11 seed bead and a 1mm hook. You can see another example here using smaller beads: www.fusionbeads.com/coastal-crochet-bracelet We hope this information is helfpul!

[@pennybrooks9038]

Can you make it with 3 or 4 beads per row or would that be too tricky?

[@marlaphillips4909]

Could I put caps on the end with a clasp to make it a bit larger? Or how would I add some beads in order to make it about an 8” braclet

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hi Marla! You could certainly do either! If you wish to have it an inch longer than If you need a longer bracelet add six solid colored beads at Rows 3, 18, 33, 48, 63, and 78. 6 rows= 36 beads = ½ inch. You may also view our printout instructions here www.fusionbeads.com/sunset-crochet-bracelet

[@graciecarreon771]

I could really use your help, PLEASE...I'm trying to do a necklace for a friend, she gave me all the material, but she can't do it anymore because of her hands. So I've been trying really hard and just getting so frustrating that I haven't been able to get it. I'm working with 11/0 beads and some thread that she gave me but I don't know what size it is. Also, I'm using a size 10 steel crochet hook. 8 seed beads in circumference. I do have everything already strung and I get can a chain of 8 beads done. but when I make it into a circle and try to start slip stitching the beads for the second row, I guess its so small I lose my place. :0( and then i end up with what looks like a total mess and I undo it cause I know I have done something wrong. Your HELP!! would be Greatly Appreciated.

[@juliek6341]

Is there a tip or trick to ensure you are crocheting through the correct bead. I bought the bracelet kit and the spiral pattern went great. When I got to the saw tooth pattern I started over at least 6 times because I did not seem to have 6 in the round in the 2nd and 3 rows. Picking up the same color is definitely more challenging. Thanks for your tutorials - they have helped me quite a bit.

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Our recommendation is to hold your upcoming beads under your thumb/finger, and use your thumbnail to separate out the next bead you're crocheting. That way you can always see the next one you are working on.

[@juliek6341]

Thanks for the reply. I did as you recommended and also wrote down the beads in the row. That really helped and I was able to complete the bracelet. I appreciate you help!!!! Thank you!

[@tracynail4432]

If you need to, at the beginning of a new row, put a tiny stitch marker of some sort (a safety pin would probably work well for this) that what you know where the row starts and ends. It’s what you’d do with non beaded crochet if you were having issues with your count.

[@patriciagimay9195]

@@FusionBeadsSea I notice that you don.t go up the last bead like Ann Benson explainers in her video this confuses me as you both have wonderful results with the invisible ends can you explain your choice?

Quick question I have a 1.80 crochet hook would that work or should I purchase a 1.75

Hello Marla! The 1.80 crochet hook should work. Your work might just come our a bit looser depending on the tension but shouldn't be too noticeable. We hope this information is helpful!

Can you use size 6 instead of 8?

[@maryvatsaloo8045]

I note your comment re adding solid coloured rows to increase for a bracelet. How much would I need to increase for a necklace?

[@FusionBeadsSea]

It depends on how long you want the necklace to be. Usually about 36 beads = 1/2. So if you need to double the amount of beads as the bracelet.

[@jeannineroebben1604]

Dank u wel

[@cindymohler808]

So sad that the fusion bead site can't be found

[@shelbythompson8496]

Exactly, how much thread and how many beads will be needed for this bracelet project? I don't want to use too much or too little thread or beads. I, simply, would like to know the right amount to use for the bracelet.

[@FusionBeadsSea]

It will depend how long you want the bracelet to be. If you are using size 8 seed beads, 5 inches of strung beads will equal one inch of finished crochet rope.

[@Maisysmumma]

I tried to click on the link to get the tutorial and a very strange site came up.

[@melissaleistikow5610]

When you say string all your beads do you mean the 90 or every single one in the pattern?

[@FusionBeadsSea]

You'll want to string all of the beads in the whole pattern before starting to crochet.

[@joseescarfuller2271]

What is the name and number the thread?

[@petacrowe6682]

The bead stringing part - which seems pretty important - is not very clear. So you read every row left to right? You don't go Left to Right then Right to Left on each alternate row? A little confusing.

[@FusionBeadsSea]

We're sorry that wasn't very clear. Since the cord is left on the spool, when stringing, the beads will be strung from left to right. When your ready to begin crocheting, you'll build from right to left, this is so you'll be able to have additional stringing material come through while creating the bracelet.

[@lilylee4392]

How many bracelets do you think can be made from the 6 packets of beads?

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Hi @lilylee, if you are using our Sunset Crochet Bracelet as the basis - each bracelet has 6 colors. 1 set would make about 3 bracelets, if made to the size in the pattern. If you want 6 bags of each color, it would make about 21 bracelets. Please note, these calculations do not include stringing material.

[@vplatania1967]

I have size 11 and 10 seed beads can I use them?

[@FusionBeadsSea]

Yes you definitely may! Here is a great formula that helps when making a crochet bracelet in other bead sizes. The formula is a rough estimate of about how many you may need, as the beads are not always equal. Like in the case of size 11/0 it may be 54 - 60 beads approximately to equal 1” of 6 around. A rule of thumb is: desired rope length X number-around = inches of beads to string i.e. 7" bracelet X 6-around = string 42" of beads To figure the amount of beads needed: desired rope length X number-around = inches of beads to string then Inches of strung beads X number of beads per inch = number of beads needed then Number of beads needed ÷ beads per gram = grams of beads needed For example: In 11/0 seed beads a 9" rope X inches to string (6") = string 54" of beads 54" of strung beads X 18 beads per inch = 972 beads 972 beads÷ 110 beads per gram = 8.8 grams of beads
