This Class Covers:

If you're ready to take your colorwork to the next level by adding beads, this is the class for you! We'll start by working on a swatch that combines both stranded knitting and beadwork. Step by step, you’ll learn how to apply beads using a crochet hook and how to integrate them seamlessly into your colorwork.

We'll dive into reading charts that combine color and bead placement, and in the second half of the class, you’ll begin designing your own color + bead chart. I hope the variety of samples I share will ignite your creativity and inspire you to create your own one-of-a-kind, bead-embellished colorwork designs

Students should be comfortable knitting in the round and with stranded colorwork
