Beading Technique
This pattern calls for the knitter to string a supply of beads onto the yarn prior to knitting. To do this, tie a piece of sewing thread approximately 6 inches from the beginning of the skein of yarn. Thread a needle that is small enough to fit through the holes in the beads onto the sewing thread. Thread beads onto the needle and push them down the sewing thread and onto the yarn. We recommend that you knit in half skeins so you will not have to slide as many beads up and down the yarn during the knitting process. Knitting will proceed faster and it will be gentler on the yarn. The pattern uses approximately 154 beads for the ribbing and 126 beads per diamond repeat. There are approximately 3 24-row diamond pattern repeats per 10 inches of stole. All beads are slipped onto purl stitches on the right side of work as follows: Work to where the bead should be placed, slip stitch purlwise, push bead in front of slipped purl stitch, work next stitch as indicated in pattern. The bead should rest in front of the slipped purl stitch and sit comfortably in between the two stitches that surround it.
