Materials:

1.5 mm polyester macrame thread
2.5 mm crochet hook
16 beads (which you'll place on the thread)

Starting the Project

Thread Preparation:

Add 8 beads on the thread to start.

Initial Chain:

Make a starting chain, then crochet 36 chains after that.
If you want to make the piece bigger, add increments of 14 chains, as the pattern repeats every 14 stitches.

First Row:

After your starting chain, use 2 chains to count as your first double crochet, then make 33 double crochets.
You should have 34 stitches in total for this row.

Continuing the Pattern

Second Row:

Crochet the second row the same way as the first, with 34 stitches in total.

Third Row (Pattern Row):

In the third row, begin to create a pattern.
You’ll make a 'flower pattern' every 12 stitches, with 2 of those stitches being part of the flower.
Crochet 2 crochets behind the beads as part of the pattern.

Fourth Row:

Continue with double crochets for the fourth row, maintaining 34 stitches.

Further Rows and Pattern Details

Fifth Row:

Proceed with the fifth row similarly to the previous rows with double crochets.

Sixth Row:

Continue with the sixth row as before.

Seventh Row:

Repeat the flower pattern again in the seventh row.

Rows up to 10:

Continue with standard double crochet rows.

Eleventh Row:

Create a flower pattern again, as in the 3rd and 7th rows.

Edging and Finishing Touches

Edging:

Crochet single crochet stitches on all three edges. In the corner loops, crochet 1 chain and then 1 single crochet. Work around all 4 sides in the opposite direction with single crochet stitches.

Back Crochets:

If you’re adding a zipper or creating a space for one, crochet single crochet stitches in the back loops in that space.

Other Edges:

For the other 3 edges, crochet half treble crochets in the back loops, and slip stitch to the zipper space in the second and third rows. Repeat half treble crochet to the non-zipper edges.
