Notes

CO 7 stitches onto a size 5 needle, change to size 4’s and knit to pattern through the first repeat. Fabric seemed a bit tight, switched to size 5’s and knit 3 more pattern repeats. (I added one extra!)
I still have plenty of yarn, will do an eyelet lace border as follows (maintaining increases):

  • knit one row, pearl one row
  • knit edge stitches, YO, K2tog across to marker,M1, SM, knit,SM, M1, SSK, YO to edge stitches
  • purl next row adding 6/0 beads to each K2tog
  • knit two garter ridges

I started with silver-lined clear beads, then found some frosted AB transparent purple beads that looked so much better! I’ll repeat the border 2-3 times depending on how much yarn I have left. Completed three repeats, knitted 3 garter ridges and used a suspended bind off with a size 7 needle.
