How to Crochet a Bead Cover: A Detailed Guide

Initial Rows

1st row: 3 chain sts in a ring;

2nd row: 1 chain st increase, 6 single crochets, slip st;

3rd row: 1 chain st increase, double the quantity of sts, 2 single crochets in each single crochet, slip st (= 12);

4th row: 1 chain st increase, *1 single crochet, 2 single crochets with common base*, slip st (= 18 sts);

5th row: 1 chain st increase, *1 single crochet, 1 single crochet, 2 single crochets with common base*, slip st (= 27 sts).

Continuation of the Circle

You have formed a flat circle. Continue without increases; do not make chain sts increase and slip sts from the 6th to the 11th rows.

Adding the Bead and Making Decreases

Put the bead in the cover, and start making decreases:

12th row: *1 single crochet, make 2 single crochets together* (= 18);

13th row: *make 2 single crochets together* (= 9).

Continue making decreases of the sts quantity. You should have 1 single crochet left. Cut the yarn and weave in the end.
