In Bead Knitting with Judith Durant, you’ll learn two different techniques for creating beautiful beaded jewelry pieces with knit stitches. Her expert tips and tricks will have you knitting with beads in no time!

First, create a Deco-Style Cuff using the bead knitting technique. You’ll learn how to string beads following a chart and then knit them into a fabulous and easy-to wear cuff. Begin by stringing beads onto cotton thread, and then watch the design come to life as you knit and purl beads into every stitch.

Then, use beaded knitting to place beads between knit stitches and create a beautiful Undulating Necklace. Use contrasting colors to create a one-of-a-kind design that really pops. This piece incorporates a slit as a closure, so no clasp hardware is required. You’ll learn how to string a large volume of beads efficiently and how to follow a simple pattern to create stunning knitted jewelry. Once you master the technique, use it in scarves, beaded purses, and more.
