From Easy Beaded Crochet by Carol Meldrum:

Adding beads and sequins

It is easy to incorporate beads and sequins into crochet fabrics. Any type of beads and sequins can be used, provided that the central hole is large enough for the yarn to pass through.

1. Thread a sewing needle with a short length of sewing cotton and knot the ends. Pass the yarn through the loop made. Slide each bead or sequin into the needle, then down the sewing cotton and onto the yarn. Pull the yarn through and continue threading on beads or sequins in this way.

2. When indicated in the pattern, push a bead or sequin up the yarn to sit just below the crochet hook. Work the next stitch as instructed leaving the bead or sequin at the front of the work.
