Turkish cord is a fairly popular way of knitting from beads. The technique of its execution is very simple, which allows even beginners in beadwork to get down to work.
It is necessary
- - beads;
- - large beads;
- - crochet hook with a size of 0.7 to 1.5 mm;
- - threads.
Instructions
Step 1
String one large bead, and then the desired number of beads. It is better that their number is a multiple of four. Thus, prepare a thread with elements strung on it. To determine the length of the finished thread, you can knit a pattern and calculate the length of the bundle, knitted, for example, from 20 cm of thread. Make sure that the beads and beads are repeated in the same order, otherwise you will have to redo everything.
Step 2
Leave 15 cm of thread loose. Now take your crochet hook and make one chain stitch. Crochet four beads and knit them with an air loop.
Step 3
Grab the next four beads and repeat the previous steps.
Step 4
Insert your crochet hook in the middle of the first stitch you knit so that there are two beads to the left and right of the crochet hook.
Step 5
From this position, grab four more elements - one large bead and three small beads - and knit them with an air loop.
Step 6
Insert the crochet hook into the center of the second loop, grab the next three pieces and knit.
Step 7
Thus, work through the entire thread, each time capturing four elements. As a result, you will receive a tourniquet.
Step 8
At the end of the cord, knit an empty stitch and tighten the thread tightly. Use the remaining 15 centimeters to attach the clasp.
