If you wish to bead the pattern is requires 250 to 350 size 8/0 seed beads. Approx 2/3 of the beads are pre-strung and the rest are placed with a 0.6mm steel crochet hook.

From the gracefully curving ribs to the lace leaves, this “Juliette” styled cap is beautiful without the beads. But add the beads and it shines out as something special.

You need to be an intermediate knitter as the pattern is knit in the round and charted with lots of YO’s between purl and knit stitches.

Pattern has 4 sizes with sizing options with different sizes of needle suggested. Full explanation and pictures of crochet hook bead placement also included.

Downloads of the pattern after April 2, have greater clarification of the decreasing for the crown chart.
