The cube was difficult, mostly because it’s small and there’s not much room in the center where the different ‘faces’ meet. Probably the most difficult part of the bead was to figure out how much stitches I needed to add and skip to get the outside nice and round.

I didn’t make any pictures during the process, so I can’t exactly show you how to do it. But my advice would be: start with the bead, and for that, start with the inside, the drilled hole if you like. It’s just a straight cylinder, so nothing fancy there. When it’s long enough, keep on crocheting but start adding stitches in every round (I don’t know what word to use here… hope you understand!), about six in the beginning to get a flat top, then less and less to make the curve. When the outside has half the number of rounds as the inside you’ve reached the middle of the cylinder, so now start skipping stitches to let the outside wall curve back to the center. With the very last round of stitches you join the outside and inside.

I hope this helps…

As I said, with the cube I started on the outside, basically I made one sixth at the time, a square face with the tube connected to it. It’s pretty hard to explain it all in just words, I might make some drawings at a later time.

Do let me know when you’ve tried!
