Materials:
scrap of worsted weight yarn & hook of choice, I used an H
10-12 beads or buttons
Yarn needle
Gauge: doesn’t matter
Abbreviations (pattern uses US terms):
ch: chain
rep: repeat
sl st: slip stitch
sc: single crochet
dc: double crochet
Pattern:
Open up your blank barrette. Remove the little bar that’s there. Thread yarn or buttons onto yarn with a needle.
Join yarn with a sl st around barrette body & sc as many times as possible across the whole barrette, without making it too full, & using an odd number of stitches. I find 13 works well for worsted weight yarn, 15 or 17 for sport or dk. If it’s too full, the barrette won’t close.
Ch 3 (for 1st dc), and then slip up a bead, ch 1 around bead, dc into same space. *2 dc in next sc, (1 dc, pull up bead, ch 1 around bead,, 1 dc in next sc), & rep across.
That’s it. Weave in ends, pop bar back into place, & enjoy!
