Notes

General
Pretties stranded pattern I’ve ever made. Love, love, love how they turned out!

First bead-work project ever. Not as difficult as I feared it would be. Think I prefer pre-stringing before adding while working but this might be because the 0.6mm hook was a bit too small. Will try a 0.75 next time.

TCKAL cast-on post: 878

Mods

  • adding beads to the bottom border (stranded on the yarn) and the flower & bird (with tiny crochet hook),
  • 5 r ribbing at top instead of 4,
  • 1 extra row on thumb before starting ribbing.
