I’ve got a show coming up and I need more beads. To get my creative juices flowing I wander over to Pinterest to look around. I saw this striped disk bead tutorial from Chestnut Ridge Designs and thought I’d share it with all of you. When I get back over to the torch in a little while I’ll make a few of these. They look great when you stack them too. The tutorial shows two different styles of making a striped bead. One uses Twists and the other dots. I like both. And if you color coordinate them, even better.

Free Crochet Pattern – Sera Sweater
I’m excited to share my thoughts on the Sera Sweater crochet pattern! This design offers a beautiful balance between comfort and style, making it a must-have for any crochet enthusiast.
The pattern features a relaxed fit with delicate stitch details, creating an airy, lightweight fabric that’s perfect for layering. I love how versatile it is—you can dress it up or keep it casual. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, making it accessible for crocheters of various skill levels.
One of my favorite aspects is the option to customize the length and fit, allowing you to create a piece that truly reflects your style. The sweater uses a worsted-weight yarn, which gives it that cozy feel while still being breathable.
I can’t wait to get started on this project! If you’re looking for a new addition to your wardrobe, check out the Sera Sweater pattern here. Happy crocheting!
