Below are the stringing patterns for a few ropes or bracelets.  The only difference being that you join the ends 
of a rope to make a bracelet.  You repeat the pattern of beads until it is long enough.

Simple spiral patterns: 
3 aqua, 1 bronze, 1 aqua, 1 bronze 
4 pink, 2 purple 
2 pink, 1 dk. pink, 2 SL pink, 1 dk. pink

 

Brick Patterns: 
2 size. 11/0, 2 size. 8/0 
You will be crocheting a big bead over a small bead, so 
don't panic.

Raised Spiral: 
The repeat here is actually 12 beads, but crocheted in 6 
around. Top is with crystals, middle is with fringe beads 
& bottom is with vintage faceted beads in the center.

  

3 size 11/0, 1 size 8/0, 1 size 6/0,  1 size 8/0,  3 size 
11/0, 1 size 8/0, 1 crystal or size 6/0, 1 size 8/0

 

Something different... Make two separate simple 

spiral ropes.  Join the first in a circle.  Twist the second 
around the first and join the ends.

 

Don't want to weave the ends?   
Use a large bead and pass the "tail" ends of the crochet 
thread back & forth, catching under beads at each end 
until snug.

Really ambitious? 
Do a 40" to 50" rope, add large beads at the end and 
string a tassel through the large bead.  Voila, a rope 
lariat!  Watch out though, for 50" that's 25' of strung 
beads.  I do it in two or three pieces and join them or 
just add in  another string to the end of my current 
crocheting.     Remember... the last bead strung is the 
first bead worked..
