How to add beads to your knitting:

Adding beads to your knitting can be easier than it looks with the help of a crochet hook. The hook is used to hold the bead and then slip it over the stitch. This allows you to place beads on individual stitches as desired with out having to pre-string the yarn with beads.

• With a crochet hook that is small enough to fit through your beads, slip one bead onto hook (photo 1).

• Slip the next stitch on the left hand needle to the crochet hook and off the needle (photo 2).
