From the book:

Worn with casual style or dressed up for a night out, these mittens are fabulous accessories for any wardrobe. There is no need to get worried about the careful threading of bead sequences, because the pearl and cut glass beads are added using a variation on the individual beading technique. The beading information is given separately to the knitting pattern, so why not look through the swatch libraries and embellish the mittens with your own design or choice of beads.
