This pattern is not currently available to buy as a standalone design; it’s the third release of six accessory patterns in the highly original and exciting Yarnadelic Remixes 0.1 project by Felicity (Felix) Ford and Muriel Pensivy. Each pattern in this project is rooted in music, and the project has a rich, multimedia home on Teachable. The designs are contextualised with inspiring video and audio content that really brings their stories and musical links to life.

Beadism is a fully lined cosy decorated with beads, that can be adapted to fit and protect most smartphones and tablets. Bands of colour differentiate the melody and basslines of the song Music For A Found Harmonium by Penguin Cafe Orchestra, while beads outline the notes for each of these parts of the music. The pattern sample is worked in two green shades from the Yarnadelic yarn range: Harmonium (song for a), and Nobody Knows; a version of the song provides a co-ordinating ringtone.

Details on size options

Because of the underlying mathematical relationship between the musical notes and the motifs used in the Yarnadelic Remixes 0.1 collection, for several of the patterns, adjusting the stitch-counts will throw the patterns out of alignment. For this reason, re-sizing designs to make them bigger or smaller is most easily achieved by tweaking the gauge at which they are knit. That way the stitch and round counts remain consistent, yet you are able to get a more exact fit.

While swatching for the designs in this collection for which this is applicable, please consult the relevant GAUGE TABLE provided with each pattern. These have been provided to assist you with working out which stitch (width) and round (height) counts you will need to achieve in order to get the best fit.

GAUGE TABLES, test-knitting and detailed notes on these patterns enable you to get the best fit by getting the right gauge for your screen devices. The full size range covered is for smartphones and medium-sized tablets, and covers a range of options from 7 x 16.5cm/2.75” x 6.5” to 18.5 x 23cm/ 7.25” x 9”.
