There’s a secret to this cowl. The beads are pre-strung in a repeating pattern before you cast on. Then, you’ll work stitch-by-stitch and bead-by-bead as this piece almost knits itself! The process is easy and the result is stunning. The sample uses beads from beadbiz.org, in colors: green iris 06052618, silver-lined emerald matte AB 06052025, evergreen mix 06052113, transparent light pale green 06052520, and light olive 06050513.

This cowl requires knitting knowledge including: stringing beads, i-cord cast on, knit, i-cord bind off, and simple finishing, all on circular needles.

On my website page you’ll find a few videos showing how to string the beads, and also how to work the stitches.
