How to knit in a single or few beads

In this DROPS video we show how you knit in a single or few beads to your work.

If you are planning to add just a few beads this is how you do it: knit until you reach the stitch where you want the bead. Put a crochet hook through the bead, pick up the stitch with hook and pull trough the bead. Put the stitch back on left needle and then knit it as normal.
On next row just knit or purl the stitch with the bead, depending if you are working in stockinette or garter or other pattern.

When washing it's a good idea to use a laundry bag to be extra careful with the beads.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where this technique is used by clicking on the pictures below.
