Techniques
Beading: You may use any method of beading you prefer, but I prefer to use Super Floss (available at most pharmacies or grocery stores). Tie the flexible end in a thick knot, then thread the beads onto the rigid end. When you get to a stitch with a bead, thread the rigid end through the stitch and pull it off the needle. Bend the rigid end so that it is touching itself and slide a bead over the end and onto the stitch. Slip the stitch back onto the left needle and knit it.
Abbreviations
