I had been beading for several years, and T decided ro take a break and learn how to knit. I picked up a copy of Mary Thomas's Knitting Book and opened to the first page. With visions of hand-knit socks and sweaters in my mind, T studied every paragraph. When J reached page 131 (exactly halfway through the book), every- thing changed. The chapter was entitled “Beaded and Bead Knitting.” I glanced at iy bead stash, and I knew that I would nor be making socks and swe: “The first part of the chapter did not interest me much In the technique that is known as beaded knitting, beads are placed between the stitches as the knitting progresses, individually or in multiples. Beaded knitting seemed more a form of embellishing hand-knitted fabrie than actual beadwork. [ recalled the tiny swag bags What Js Bead Knitting? made with the technique that I'd seen at my local bead store months earlier, Most used only one bead color. As lovely as they were, I wanted to knit pictures. Bead knitting fit the bill perfectly. In bead in a particular order and knitted into the ting, the beads are prestrung, stitch—rather than benween them—ereating, a dense yet amazit supple fabric “The colors come together to create an claborate tapestry. I searched in vain for more bead knitting, instruction, The little that I found seemed geared toward knitters who were already comfortable with knitting techniques. 1 made numerous rectangular pieces, which was all that I could do with my limited knitting experience. Desperate to learn more, I sat down with the Mary Thomas book once again, first practicing the traditional way that the stitehes were made, and then, through trial and error, adapting sm to bead knitting,——— a ‘Theilled with my results, I set out to cre~ ate instructions to share with other beaders. 1 began by teaching a bead knitting lass. It was a disaster. My students could not see what Twas doing with the thin needles and the tiny glass beads. I wondered if diagrams would by ar enough and, after several years of contemplation, realized that advances in technology had afforded me another option. I would make a video, with the camera close enough so that the image oft 1y hands manipulating the tiny beads virtually could fil a television or computer sereen. I purchased a digital video camera, and, after a great deal of practice, I suc- ceeded, The result is the enclosed DVD, How to Use the Book and DVD All beaders—and all kniters—gradually develop their own style and find a way of working that is best for them, The instruc- tions and diagrams in this book illustrate \what works best for me, and I hope they will be valuable guidelines to help you find what will ultimately work best for you. Consider the information in this book asa learning tool and not as fixed rules to follow. Experiment with and practice each step before moving on to the next. Itis important that you become comfortable with a technique before tackling a project to avoid frustration, Each technique that is introduced is followed by two or more projects, so you can apply what you learn as you go. At least ‘one project for each technique is designed for larger beads (size 8) and at least one smaller beads (size 11), but you can work with any size bead for any project. “The finished size of each project is pro- vided with the list of materials, but you might want to try working with a different size bead, w ich would vary the end result, For instance, an average size bag in size 8s ‘would be a small amulet pouch in size 11s. Feel free to change colors and to embellish to suit your own tastes. Be creative! Throughout the book, the lessons are keyed with a BVD symbol and a number (BEA). The number indicates the DVD chapter that contains the corresponding information in video format. Ramee aa cog aes Watch che coreg sections of the DVD until you understand each technique‘The DVD isa classroom in almost every sense. You will ind twenty bead knitting lessons designed for right-handers and the same twenty adapted for those who are more comfortable using their left hands. Each lesson demonstrates one of the basie techniques in bead knitting and corresponds to the information about that technique presented in the book. Read the text and study the illustrations. ‘Then wateh the DVD to learn the move ment of the stitch. Whenever you need to reffesh your memory, refer to the video. ‘The DVD is very easy to navigate, You can play it either on a television set or on a computer with a DVD drive, (For more information about how to work with the DVD, see the instructions on page 318.) Also included on the DVD are high- the book. The patterns are provided as PDEs so resolution duy tes of each patter that you may view them on your computer screen or print them out so you can mark them up as you work. Each pattern is accompanied by a word map, which many people find easier to use than the graphed pattern when stringing beads. I suggest that you work with the two together. Tools and Materials Bead knitting needles, also used for knit- ting fine lace, are made of steel and are very ing page, top). They are sold in sizes that range from 00000000 (8/0), which are unbelievably thin, to a comparably larger size 0. They are small in diameter (see usually packaged in sets of five, The projects in this book require size 0000 (1.25 mm) and size 00 (1.75 mm). ‘Seed beads come in a variety of sizes. ‘The most common, ftom smallest to largest, are size 18, size 11, and size 8, ‘The three swatches on the facing page show 1" (2.5 em) squares that have been bead knitted in each size of bead. Notice that the red swatch, made with size 15s, uses significantly more beads than the blue swatch, made with size 8s, allowing for a more detailed texture pattern, ‘The most commonly available seed beads are from the Czech Republic and from Japan (sold primarily under the names Miyuki, TOHO, and Matsuno). The overall size and shape of the beads often differ from one manufacturer to another, but, as long, as you use only one size of seed bead within a project, you can combine brands.Silk thread is the best choice for bead knitted projects. Silk is relatively expensive, bur the beautiful drape that it provides in the finished fabric is worth the cost. Look for a firm, smooth fiber with a gentle twist. My favorite brand is Gudebrod Brothers Champion Silk. Cotton thread is less expensive and ean be found at most craft and yarn stores, but it is not especially durable. Although I do not recommend cotton for keepsake projects, itis a good choice when you are practicing bead knitting, The most common types of cotton thread are crochet cotton and perle cotton. You will also need these other miscella- neous tools and findings. You can find them in any craft or beading shop. The specific materials, tools, and techniques you will need for cach of the ten projects are listed with the pattern and instructions on pages 30-90. @ Steel crochet hooks, sizes 9 to 12 (for picking up dropped stitches and adding decorative edge) © Lining fabric © Large beads (for embellishment) © Jump rings, cord/chain, and clasps (for finishing the bag)Chapter 2 Knitting Tutorial his chapter will help those of you who have never knit before learn, the basic stitches required for bead knitting. Those with knitting experi cence should review this tutorial, too, because some bead knitting stitches are vari- ations of those used in traditional knitting First practice the basic knitting stitches with needles and yarn in the size you find most comfortable. If you are new to knit ting, I suggest size 4 of size 5 ne 4 sport-weight yarn, Then as you begin to Estimating the Length of the Tail 1, Cast on 10 stitches. 2, Pull the stitches off the needle, and measure the length of the thread you used to cast on the 10 stitches. 3. To determine the total length of the tail you will need for your project, multiply this measurement by one-tenth of the total cast-on stitches for your project. get the feel of it, work your way down to smaller, size 00 needles, and size 10 crochet cotton “The instructions and diageams in this book are written for right-handed kn boat both right-handed and left-handed demonstrations are included on the DVD.

Leave a longer tal for wider projects, or estimate the amount of thread with the method described in the box at left. Step 2+ Insert the tip of the needle, and tighten the slipknot around it.

Working from back to front, insert the tip of the needle in your right hand beneath the “running thread” between the stitch below the one that was just knitted and the one that you will knit next (A). Step 2: Transfer the running thread to the needle in your left hand by inserting the needle into the loop fiom front to back (B). Step 3: Remove the needle in your right hand from the front of the loop, and reinsert it into the back leg, as if you were knit a regular stitch (C), It may be necessary to push the thread forward a bit to make A space in which to insert the needle. ng pee ‘Step 42 Wrap the thread over and around the right-hand needle, and complete the new stitch without adding. a bead (D, E) Allow the running thread to drop from the needle in your left hand.

Add a new stitch aft in two ways: r the first or second bead of every increase row and another before the last or next-to-last bead. This method of increasing creates an effect ilar to that of an edge increase in that the body ofthe beadwork fabrie remains flat “This method is also used ro increase when double knit 2. Add new stitches incrementally, giving 18 (page 68) the appearance of triangular wedges. For ‘example, there may be 1 bead berween each increase in the first row, 2 beads between increases in the third row, and 3 beads between increases in the fifth row (see the ‘graphed pattern for the Blue Garden Draw string Purse, page 60). (B14 Decreasing within a Row A decrease within a row is made over 2 rows and acts asa complement to an increase within a row. Step 1: B by omitting the desired beads from the row, a decrease on a purl row leaving an empty stitch where each decrease is to be made se in the Step 2: Complete each deer subsequent knit row by eliminating each empty stitch. Knit the row until you reach the first empty stitch. Step 3: Slip the empty stitch from the left \d needle to the right-hand needle, Knit a bead into the next stiteh,Step 4: Insert the needle in your left hand into the slipped stiteh, and lift it over the beaded stitch and off the needle (A). Pull the stitch over the bead so that it is concealed between that bead and the bead below it (B). Continue knitting until the next empty stitch. Organize decreases as you would organize increases. When eliminating ‘empty stitches with an incremental (wedge) decrease, take special care when counting the number of beads between each decrease. It is easy to forget to count the bead above the decrease stitch, which can throw off your count. Increases and decreases can be made within the same row, or you can stagger ie IF you make a large number of increases within a single row—particularly if they are made on consecutive rows—your bead rows for more gradual sha knitting will likely appear bunched until you knit several rows without increases or remove the knitting from the needles. In some eases, this bunching may make it difficult for you to continue Knitting because the stitches are so close together. IF this happens, simply transfer half of the stitches to a third needle, and knit from needle to needle without increasing until the knit fl is smooth, Bessa “You can adapt ‘many other craditional leniecing techniques to, bead kniccing!% Materials Size 8 Beads: = color A: lavender; 734 beads (19 grams) * color B: light green; 69 beads (2 grams) + color C: purple; 66 beads (2 grams) + color D: black; 671 beads (17 grams) size FF silk thread; 24 yards 2 needles, size 00 A ic 40 Optional (for finishing) ‘lining material * bead stringing wire ‘= jump rings + clasp «= sterling crimps = 10mm accent beads * pressed glass leaves Finished Size 5" wide x 4%" long (127x114), exclusive of strap and embellishments Dusk NECKLACE Knitting Instructions + Cast on 32:stitches (2 empty stitches on each edge). * Knit 1 row without beads. + Begin adding beads on a purl row.
