If you're new to spool knitting check out our Spool Knitting Tutorial before learning to add beads.
- learn how to use your spool knitter to make cord,
- learn how to make three different types of cord; and
- how to make a necklace with your finished cords.
Once you're up to speed on how to spool knit you can start purfylling (embellishing) your cords with beads.
Adding Beads To Spool Knitting:
1. Thread your beads onto your yarn before you start.
2. Start your knitting as normal and once you've completed the first round you can begin to add beads.
3. Push a bead up your yarn to the space in-between spool pegs and then make the next stitch (or loop).
4. Push your next bead up, make another loop and so on.
It's important your beads are small enough to fit through the centre of your spool knitter.
Try adding beads every other stitch to get stripes of beads on your cord.

ReplyDeleteYou're the best! Thanks for sharing.
DeleteLove this! But does that mean you have to cut your yarn to the measured length first?
ReplyDeleteNot at all, you can keep going until you've run out of yarn but you do need to thread all of your beads on first.
