(on your crochet thread before you begin working. The

fows are usually crocheted with wrong side of work
facing you. Always hold beads tightly against back of
work 0 that beads will st neatly in your finished piece.

of the string af beads around the end of your arochel
thread and slide the beads from the strand directly onto
