BEADED MOSAIC DIAMOND SOCKS & MITTS & HAT to KNIT by HEARTSTRINGS

THIS IS A BRAND NEW PATTERN LEAFLET FROM THE JACKIE E-S DESIGN COLLECTIONS HEARTSTRINGS FIBERARTS CALLED  BEADED DIAMOND MOSAIC, DESIGNED BY JACKIE ERICKSON-SCHWEITZER.

MIX-AND-MATCH BEADED ENSEMBLE OF HAT, CREW SOCKS AND FINGERLESS MITTS!

ALTHOUGH THE COLORWORK MIGHT APPEAR INVOLVED, THE SLIP-STITCH COLOR KNITTING IS SIMPLE BECAUSE YOU ONLY NEED TO HANDLE ONE YARN  COLOR AT A TIME.

THE BEADS GIVE AN ADDED DEPTH OF COLOR AND LOOK OF COMPLEXITY TO AN OTHERWISE SIMPLE BEADED KNITTED TECHNIQUE.
