bead crochet curiosities

Hello, an experienced crocheter looking into new ideas and opporitunities here !



I've done a bit of beaded crochet lately, but the thing is, i've only found it to be possible to do what i'm going for with afghan stitch.. there's no *real* problem with that, but for the sheer size of some of the projects i'm looking into, i'd prefer single crochet if at all possible. The site i used to gather info was this:

skipping down to the part i'm interested in: "choose a small, simple cross-stitch pattern and substitute seed beads for the embroidery floss



colors, adding beads according to the pattern chart to crocheted items"


that, only with not so simple cross-stitch patterns.


if i do it the way she suggests, the beads will end up on alternating sides of the fabric. I've tried to learn to crochet left-handedly, but



it didnt work. trying to simulate working left-handedly with my right hand didn't cut the mustard either...


Question is... am i stuck with afghan stitch for all of this, or am i missing some magic way of keeping all my beads on *one* side of the fabric *without* skipping rows ?
