Box-Pleat Top - Beading

I've been working with beads on the Box-Pleat Top, using 6x4 Czech Glass Faceted Large Hole Roller Beads that I bought at a local bead store.  Knitting with beads is fun and easy once you get started.  When knitting with beads, you can either string all of the beads on the yarn before you start your project, or you can add the beads to the yarn as you go using a crochet hook.  For the Box-Pleat Top, I have employed the second method.

Here are some photographs of the process I've used for placing beads on the Box-Pleat Top:






1) place one bead on a crochet hook and use the crochet hook to remove one loop on the left hand needle.








2) slide the bead from the crochet hook onto the loop. 







3) replace the loop onto the left hand needle. 







4) knit the loop.
