Starry Night

Get your beads out and prepare to elevate your knitting game! This is your perfect opportunity to really bling it up with a unique and stylish project. Choose between clear glass or crystal beads, reminiscent of these stunning samples, or opt for vibrant colors that complement your yarn beautifully. Can’t decide which hue to choose? Why not embrace the full spectrum? You can select multiple colors to create a dazzling starry rainbow effect or a mesmerizing bead fade that will catch everyone’s eye.

This knitting pattern requires either 224 beads and 200 yards of 3-4 ply fingering weight yarn OR 210 beads and 170 yards of 8-10 ply DK/worsted weight yarn, made from luxurious merino, wool, or a fancy blend that suits your style. Before you start, be sure to check your bead size with a doubled strand of the yarn you plan to use; the bead should slide onto the yarn easily and hold its place securely.

The samples depicted use both 3-4 ply (light) and 8-10 ply (dark) yarns, showcasing how versatile this project can be. To complete this stunning piece, you will need 3mm & 3.5mm needles on a 40cm cable for the fingering weight version or 3.5mm and 4.5mm on a 40cm cable for the DK/worsted option. You may also want to have DPNs or a longer cable on hand to utilize the magic loop technique for knitting the crown smoothly. This pattern is designed to fit most adults and teens comfortably, and you can easily adjust the height to match your personal preference for a ‘slouchy’ look.

With this beginner-friendly yet eye-catching project, you’ll be able to showcase your creativity and knitting skills while making a fashionable accessory that reflects your unique style. Dive into this exciting knitting adventure now, and let your creativity shine with beads!
