How to string beads with smaller openings onto yarn. This is a different method from the pre-stringing or steel-crochet-hook methods. It is like the crochet-hook method, but instead of using a crochet hook, one uses a needle and thread to pull the bead onto the yarn. This works for beads that are too small to string onto the yarn and too small to fit on a tiny crochet hook, or with yarn that is too thick for the crochet hook to grab cleanly.

Tutorial for making beaded shell scallops at the start of a knitted scarf. The original pattern is from Deanna's Vintage Styles (Shell Fringe Scarf). However, one doesn't need to follow that pattern in order to use the general technique. It's a lovely way of decorating the bottom of a knitted piece. This video also demonstrates how to transfer beads from a hank of beads over to one's yarn. This can be useful for any textile craft where one is adding beads to the piece (e.g. crochet, kumihimo)

This method of bead crochet does not require pre-stringing the beads onto the yarn. Instead, it uses an extra small crochet hook to thread the bead onto the current loop; a similar method is used for beaded knitting. The disadvantage of this method is that you have to start and stop; stop and thread the bead on the small hook and then exchange hooks, put on the bead, and then exchange hooks again. That's the trade-off for the advantage of not having to pre-string the beads.
