Here are a few How To’s on making a beaded bag<\/p>\n\n\n\n
General Rules for Round End Purses.
I typed this from Corticelli Silk Purses and Bags and How to Make them. I have made every effort on accuracy but if you find an accident, please let me know! Thanks and hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seven-Point Star Pattern:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make a round end purse, consult the diagrams, which show how the work begins, with various
stages of its progress up to the point where the star pattern is complete. Where the star has seven points,
the work is done as follows, String all the beads on the silk and commence at bottom of purse working
upward, leaving an end (A, Fig. 1) hanging, with which to sew on the ornament or on which to string beads

with which to make a tassel. Make a chain of 4 stitches and join, forming a circle (see Fig.1), into which do 7 s.c.
Note, — From this point on, the stitches are all done on one vein of the chain, and that one the outside or
farthest from the worker. This is important, as if the hook is passed through both veins, the stitches will be
oblique and the figures all incline to the left hand. This forms a foundation of seven stitches (see Fig. 2) on
which are built the seven divisions of the star pattern, with beads as follows:
1st round — In the first stitch do 1 sc with bead and 1 sc without bead (in the order named), slipping the
bead down close to the hook B, as shown at a more advanced stage of the work (see Fig. 6), where after
the thread is drawn once through the stitch, the bead has been pushed up with the second finger of the right
hand, and the thread again requires drawing through the two loops on the needle, repeating seven times. This
leaves two stitches in each division, or fourteen in all. In the next nine rounds the work is increased in width
in the same manner as in the first round, by doing 1 sc with bead and 1 sc without bead (in the order named)
in the last stitch of each division through-out every round. In all other stitches do only 1 sc with bead. This
increases the width by seven stitches in every round. At the end of the tenth round there are 77 stitches,
70 with beads and 7 without: and the appearance of the work is indicated by Fig 3, showing the last stitch

of the tenth round resting on hook B. Make no further increase in width until the completion of the star pattern,
which is continued as follows:
11th round — In the first and eleventh stitches of every division do 1 sc without beads. In all other stitches
do 1 sc with beads.
12th round — In the first, second and eleventh stitches of every division do 1 sc without beads. In all other
stitches do 1 sc with beads.
13th round — In the first, second, third, and eleventh stitches of every division do 1 sc without beads. In all
other stitches do 1 sc with beads.
14th round — In the first, second, third, fourth, and eleventh stitches of every division do 1 sc without beads.
In all other stitches do 1 sc with beads.
15th round — In the first, second, third, fourth, fifth,and eleventh stitches of every division do 1 sc without
beads. In all other stitches do 1 sc with beads.
16th round — In the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and eleventh stitches of every division do 1 sc
without beads. In all other stitches do 1 sc with beads.
17th round — In the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eleventh stitches of every division
do 1 sc without beads. In all other stitches do 1 sc with beads.
18th round — In the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and eleventh stitches of every
division do 1 sc without beads. In all other stitches do 1 sc with beads.
19th round — In the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and eleventh stitches do 1 sc
without beads. In all other stitches do 1 sc with beads.
Fig 5 shows the appearance of one division of the star on completion of this round. Placing seven of these
side by side, and bringing together the line A B of the first division and the line C D of the seventh division
at the same time bringing to a common center the seven points E, the principle of forming the star as described
above is easily seen.

Eight-Point Star Pattern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For the formation of the eight-pointed star the above instructions apply, substituting for the seven stitches into the circle ( Fig1) first made, eight stitches, After working into each of these eight stitches, one with and one without beads, there will be at the completion of the round, sixteen stitches upon which the eight points are to be formed in the same manner as for the Seven Point Pattern. See Fig 4 The widest point of this star will have 88 stitches, 80 with and 8 without beads (one plain stitch between each division of 10 beads), and after working two plain rounds the number may be increased or taken from according to requirements of design to be followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stringing the Beads<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beginners will be glad to know that No. 8 steel beads can be easily strung with a slender needle, with oval Please feel free to copy these directions but Please do not post them on your website \u00a9 CrochetQueen Do not copy or distribute in any form without consent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are a few How To’s on making a beaded bag General Rules for Round […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[41,21],"class_list":["post-726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crochet-patterns","tag-beads","tag-crochet"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=726"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":727,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726\/revisions\/727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crochetqueen.co\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
eye , large enough to carry Corticelli Purse Twist. The beads should be slid off from the original strings
five or six at a time, and held between the thumb and the first finger, while the needle is pushed through,
repeating until the whole number is obtained. This enables the worker to reject the poor beads if any are
noticed. another plan is to rub beeswax on the end of silk and the end of cotton on which the beads come, lapping the two ends several inches and rubbing them together at one thread. It is then possible to slide the whole number from one string to another. Glass beads are more difficult to string with a needle, and a good plan is to use the wax for them. Another device is to rub a little disolved gum arabic or common mucilage on the end of the Purse Twist, rubbing this down to a point nicely, thus forming a stiff end when dried, and serving better than a needle for sliding through a small bead. Beads may also be quickly strung by simply rubbing a little castile soap on the end of the silk to make a point.
In making fringe from beads, it is quite essential to use a needle, and in case the Purse Twist cannot
be passed through the eye of the needle which will go through small beads, then a finer silk can be used for the fringe. Corticelli Buttonhole Twist, size D, will be strong enough, and it can be had in colors to match the purses. However, with No. 8 steel beads there will be no trouble in using the Purse Silk for all the work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
