Out On The Town
Discover the beauty of creating this stunning beaded bag, perfect for any occasion! This project requires 46 size 6/0 or 5/0 beads, making it a delightful and relatively quick knitting endeavor. The knitting techniques involved are straightforward, allowing knitters of all levels to enjoy the added charm of beading. If you're looking to simplify the design, you can easily modify the pattern to omit the beads and achieve a similar textured look by purling the stitches instead. For the beading process, a size 11/12 crochet hook is essential to ensure your beads are attached beautifully.
We've hosted two successful classes featuring this stylish bag, attended by 22 enthusiastic participants who quickly grasped the concepts and enjoyed the hands-on experience.
