NOTES
Noteº1: You can knit with or without beads if you wish.
Noteº2: The total amount of beads needed will vary according to their size.
Noteº3: Before starting your project, make a swatch to ensure you are getting gauge and that your sweater will come out to the correct final measurements. If you have more stitches per inch than indicated, your tension is tighter, and you must go up a needle size or two. If you have fewer stitches per inch than indicated, your tension is looser, and you need to go down a needle size or two.
Noteº4: Rows are worked flat and Rounds are worked in-theround.
Noteº5: The text in lilac are video links. Lace pattern emphasizes the hem, and beads add an extra interest to the neckline, hem and cuffs.
After working the desired body length, which is very easy to modify to a crop or full length version according to your preferences, the front and back are worked flat with decreases to shape the armhole.
