Terrifically tactile, Stephanie’s beaded jumper twinkles to life in any light. The all-over beading isn’t visually overwhelming but, rather, creates a unique pattern on the entire fabric surface.

TENSION

26 dcBLO x 28 rnds = 10cm x 10cm / 4” x 4” for the finished garment after blocking

Crocheting with this many beads will affect your tension; the beads will limit horizontal stretch, and will also weigh the fabric down causing some vertical stretching. For the sample swatch, worked over the bead stitch pattern, the tension was 24 dcBLO x 30 rnds = 10cm x 10cm / 4” x 4”.
