BEAD CROCHET ROPE PATTERNS: Making Easy and Beautiful Crochet Bead Rope Jewelry For most of us, our introduction to beaded ropes came by way of making tubular versions of our favorite off-loom bead-weaving stitches, or by creating a classic spiral rope. There's something incredible about watching a few rounds of bead stitching turn into a fabulous beaded rope.
