Instructions

Beads make it special! Have patience and do the picot bind off. It looks so wonderful with the picots!!

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Retro / Vintage, Mod, Hipster, Outdoorsy, Funky, Classic, Romantic, Traditional, Casual, Cute


Materials

Pagewood Farms Yukon, Navajo colorway, one skein. Mixed copper Czech glass beads. 32" size 6 circular needle.

What was your inspiration?

The yarn inspired me! I knew I was going to have to find copper beads to bring out the sparkle since turquoise stones and copper are often found together.

What are you most proud of?

It just looks so beautiful. I auctioned it on eBay to raise money for canine cancer research. Among all the bidders, my brother-in-law won the auction to surprise my sister for her birthday. I was so happy about that!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Patience. It's a very easy pattern, but you do have to focus and pay attention!

Craftsy is offering a beaded knitting class, but if you just want a quick tutorial, I used the one from Knitter's Brewing Company: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y7djPLQ-v8
