Knitting with beads is fun! Anyone who can knit can do it.
Stringing Tip: For big bead knitting or crochet projects using one color, see how many beads are in an inch and string inches - it will be close to the right number without all that counting!
The table will help you find the materials for bead knitting. Use yarn and needles that are comfortable for you! Needle size will depend on how you knit - if you knit tightly get the larger needles, and if you knit loosely get the smaller. If you aren't sure, get the middle size needle.
