🧿 5 Beautiful beaded knitting patterns

Our next LIVE workshop on bead knitting begins in a little more than 24 hours!

So today we're highlighting some great projects that you can make after learning this technique (or now, if you already know how.)

Here are a few of our favorite patterns...

​Sparkling Cider by Kristin Lehrer

Why we love it: This hat combines subtle cable stitches with well placed beads to add a little extra texture. Absolutely lovely!

​Woodland Paths Beaded Headband by Kristen Clay

Why we love it: This simple headband pattern combines textured stitch pattern with a lightly scalloped edge. Perfect for beginners!

​Mingle by Laura Nelkin

Why we love it: Laura is basically the patron saint of bead knitting. This is just ONE of her many beautiful bead jewelry designs.

​Bead Lightning Shawl by Uma Padu

Why we love it: Lace and beads go together like thunder and lightning. This shawl electrifying lightning motifs throughout that will keep more advanced knitters on their toes!

​Bling T by Laura Nelkin

Why we love it: Beads are a great way to add bling to any project and this tee is not exception. While the tee itself has a classic design, the beadwork on the woke takes this to another level.
