From "Knit and Crochet with Beads". I love it. I think the contrasting beads work better than matching beads. I found when I tried matching beads, the beads got lost in the pattern. I love how the knitting curves on it's own so it makes a perfect necklace!
Pearl Cotton 8 and size 11(?) seed beads. (i didn't have silk thread, next time for a more glamorous look.
