I’m sure I’m not the only person that spends most of their time making things for others.
I don’t mean to sound uncharitable, I love gifting my crochet, but I thought the other day, how nice it would be, to make a little fun something just for me.
So here is my little crochet cuff.
This is made using some lovely Koigu from Yarn Glorious Yarn. Koigu is a 4ply 100 percent merino wool yarn. It’s just gorgeous to crochet with. It doesn’t split or untwirl and seems to glide perfectly round my hook.
This is the first time I’ve tried beading into crochet. The most tricky bit was threading all the beads on first. I used mainly seed beads with a few Swarovski crystals added for extra sparkle.
Do you like it? The trick with the beading was to add the beads on a wrong-side row, and use a DC stitch – it kept them nicely lined up.
I wore it to work today, it’s really comfortable.
We finally had a patch of sunshine. Moo decided to take advantage.

lovely! i’ve been too chicken to try working beads into anything, but a cuff seems like a more manageable first attempt – thanks for the inspiration!
our dog is sad to lose the snow, but i think she likes the warm sun as much as your moo does 🙂
Very very nice, love how the beads show off the cuff.
Moo looks so content,
As always, lovely. I have been very interested in doing some beading, however it is added my big list of things to learn to do with crochet. Slowly but surely I am getting better. One day.
Just beautiful. Love the sparkly beads. I have ‘a bit of a thing’ for cuffs and yours is gorgeous.
What a gorgeous gift to yourself!!
Love it. Must try beading with crochet sometime. Only ever done it with knitting.
Where is Moo’s matching collar?
What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL cuff!
Wow, that is stunning! I wish you had a pattern for it.
