Little Warming Flair

I really like wristlets also known as pulse warmers.

Decorated with beads they can turn into pieces of jewelry.

The simple shape and the beads give an impression of tasteful flair.

 

 

A friend will give these to her daughter who really

likes to dress in black, white and grey.

I think she will like this gift. 

 

 



Time to Keep Warm with Beads

Wristlets are so fun to make and so good to have!

They keep you warm and they are decorative.

With their simple shape the embellishment can be varied in many ways. 

 

 

I like elegant balance when it comes to colors. Often the colors of the yarn and the beads are tone on tone.

 

 

The yarn is alpaca 4-ply/fingering and the beads

are from Gütermann.

 

 

Beaded & Warm

New nice wrist warmers to wear the year around. Warmth and beauty for both body and soul. Fun to make and fun to have in a lot of colours and patterns.

To Knit Wristlets with Beads

The wristlet is knitted in thin alpaca in garter stitch with knitting needles in size 2mm. This pattern is in two colours which means that the beads are stringed in the reverse order. The bead which is knitted last is stringed first.

To get the wristlet to look as good as possible I use crochet provisional cast-on to get an open cast-on and then I use grafting stitch when sewing the seam. 

Knitting with Beads

I love to knit with beads! The simplest form and design turns to a piece of art through the pattern and the colours and luster of the beads.

Beaded wristlets are quite easy to make and are like a warming piece of jewelry. These in black are knitted in thin alpaca. It's my own design which I simply call 'Paisley'.

I made them a couple of years ago. I've used them a lot so they have lost some stretch.

It's time to knit a new pair with the same pattern. This time in burgundy with beads in purple and pink.
Each bead must be in the right place so the stringing demands some nicety work. It's done for the first wristlet!
