* Placing a Bead Having the 8th stitch as the next stitch to be knitted, place crochet hook thru center of bead. Run crochet hook, with bead on it, thru the 8th stitch, removing knit stitch from knitting needle. Now, with crochet hook catching yarn, pull stitch thru bead. Place stitch, with bead on it, back onto needle and K as usual.
## We have had questions about Row 6 - here is
explanation from designer.
The pattern IS correct, knitting it will show it is correct:
There should be 16 sts on each needle - not 18. I am knitting it now and it
comes out correct.
On Row 6 - the K1 is necessary to move the eyelet hole into the correct
position.
There are 2 pattern repeats on each needle. Due to the K1 at the beginning of
each needle; the second repeat on each needle ends with the 2 remaining sts
(instead of 3).
K1*- 1st
First repeat on each needle - K2tog - 1st Yo - 1st K1 - 1st Yo - 1st Ssk - 1st
K3 - 3 sts = 8sts total
The second repeat of 8 sts ends with a K2 to to account for the K1 at the
beginning of each needle.
If the pattern is changed in any way; it won't look the same.
To put it
simply - the second or last repeat on each needle only has 7 sts since it ends
with a k2 instead of K3.
So it would be:
K1
8 pattern sts
7 pattern sts
= 16 pattern sts on each needle
This is what happens when a knitter tries to read a pattern to determine if it is correct instead of actually knitting it.
