DEBBIE BLISSBillie
PATTERN NOTES
Thread beads onto yarn before starting
to knit by threading a sewing needle
with a short length of sewing cotton,
then knotting the ends to make a loop.
Slide the knot to one side and thread the
yarn end through the loop. Pick up beads,
three or four at a time, slide them down the
loop of thread and onto the yarn.
Do not work a bead motif on four edge sts.
