Is This Project Suitable For Beginners?
This project will suit intermediate crocheters best. It requires you to know fundamental crochet stitches and techniques. You will also practice crocheting with beads, which might be tricky for those at a beginner level. Yet the project isn’t particularly difficult and includes easy-to-follow instructions, so don’t hesitate to give it a go.
What Beads Work Best For The Crystal Center?
The designer recommends using Czech Glass Large Hole Fire Polished Rondelle in size 5x8mm. These are stunning glass beads that will give your crocheted geode a beautiful crystal-like look. You can also play around with other bead shapes, but they may give you a different effect. When choosing beads, make sure they have large holes so you can easily thread the yarn through them.
How Is The Geode Constructed?
You build this crochet geode from two separate cups. The inside layer is smaller and is worked with beads, while the outside cup is bigger. Once you have both layers done, you put one cup into the other and sew them together. This is really that simple!
