Have you fallen in love with dragons too? Of course I couldn't resist trying to make my own dragon which meant I needed to up my amigurumi game.

Crochet Beading is one of my favourite methods for starting an openwork crochet project.
Today the term 'beading', when used in relation to crochet, is likely to refer to the use of adding glass, or other types of beads to crochet.
However the traditional use of the term 'Crochet Beading' references the definition of beading as a trim, a term which is still commonly used today in carpentry to denote trims.
Crochet Beading is a fancy foundation row which results in an openwork trim that is ideal for weaving ribbon through, or to use as an edging. I find crochet beading very useful for stitching a project to fabric, allowing the crochet to be worked up separately.
This traditional method of working a Crochet Beading is a stitch that deserves to be as popular today as it once was.
