Bead Crochet
Thread the beads on the silk, and pass a bead down before working the stitch; this is always worked on the wrong side.
Handsome Bead Purse
With square ends, pattern No. 1, middle size netting silk, colours ponceau white, shaded green, and No. 5 steel beads. Make a chain of 80 stitches.
With ponceau make it round, and work 2 rounds plain; then 5 rounds of pattern in ponceau, 5 in white, 14 in shaded green, 5 in white, 5 of ponceau, 8 rounds plain ponceau, and 34 rows backwards and forwards, for the opening, working 3 bead stitches at the beginning and end of every other row; make it round again, work 3 plain rounds, repeat pattern.
Finish the ends with a fringe of steel beads.
