Overview

It's never been easier to knit with beads! From pretty pearls to classic silver or gleaming glass, a few beads are the perfect way to add a little glitz and glamour to any knitted project—and knit designers Liv Asplund and Jane Asprusten have finally made it as simple as it sounds. Using their straightforward technique, novices and veterans alike can take their pick of dozens of gloves, hats, headbands, wrist warmers, bags, and scarves, in thin yarn or thick, with small beads or large, and craft fun and fancy accessories in style!
