BEADING NOTE
Before starting to knit, thread the beads
onto the yarn. To do this, thread a fine
s e w i n g n e e d l e (on e t h at w i l l e a si ly p a s s
through the beads) with sewing thread.
Knot the ends of the thread, and then
pass the end of the yarn through this loop.
Thread a bead onto the sewing thread
and then gently slide it along and onto
the knitting yarn. Continue in this way
until the required number of beads are
on the yarn. Do not place beads on the edge
stitches of rows, as this will interfere
with seaming.

are insufficient stitches to work both, work
