How to Crochet Wire Jewelry
This is super simple and quick. I’m going to assume in this tutorial that you already know the basics of crochet, including how to create a slip knot, slip stitch and chain stitch. If not, there are many YouTube videos on how to do these things, or I could create some tutorials if you like. Just let me know, as I’m already considering doing so!
The essence of what I’m doing here is just chaining and occasionally sliding a bead down and continuing to chain. Easy.
So here is a step-by-step tutorial of how to crochet wire jewelry:
Start with: Size 0 crochet hook (or any, as the size doesn’t really matter), beads of your choice and wire. I used nylon-coated beading wire, which is flexible and doesn’t kink up too much. You can use regular wire if you prefer.
Next, string all your beads onto the wire (DON’T CUT YOUR WIRE! Leave it attached to the spool and just pull it out as you need it)
ROUND 1: Create a slip knot. Place onto your hook:
Next, you’re going to chain 10 and slide a bead down to your hook.
Now, chain 10 again and slide another bead down.
Repeat (chain 10, slide bead down) twice more, or until your chain wraps loosely around your wrist and can slide easily over your hand.
Slip stitch to the beginning of your chain to form a ring.
ROUND 2: Now. Chain 8 and slide a bead down. Chain 10, slide a bead down. Chain 10, slide a bead down. Chain 10, slide a bead down. Chain 5.
Now slip stitch to the third chain on ROUND 2. You now have 2 rounds, connected by a chain 3. (This wire is really squiggly and wouldn’t lay flat for me to take a better picture)
Now. ROUND 3: Chain 13, slide a bead down. Chain 10, slide a bead down, Chain 10, slide a bead down, Chain 10, slide a bead down. Slip stitch to the 3rd chain at the begging of ROUND 3.
And DONE! Cut your wire, and weave the ends in and out of the wire chains to secure and slide onto your wrist!!
This is a very quick and easy version. I hope to get some more complex designs created for you! The possibilities are endless!!

Absolutely love your design & excellent presentation! I have a question about the overall function of the bracelet for getting on and off your wrist…is it the give in the stitching that lets it slide over the wrist and will it keep its shape over time with the stretching on and off? Thanks so much! <3
I love this. I have crochet jewelry before but have never been able to get the stitches as nicely form and even as yours. how do you do that? Thank you for the directions. Fun idea
