Bead Stitch

About this Stitch Pattern


The bead stitch is a lace knitting pattern with a unique texture. It creates an interesting fabric of interwoven segments with an organic feel. These segments are reminiscent of strands of beads or links in a watch chain. Although this stitch pattern is only 4 rows long, it’s relatively complicated. With lace stitches on both sides, there’s lot to keep of track of in the bead stitch, so a lifeline is recommended. But if you can power through the reward is a beautiful lace fabric that is perfect for shawls and scarves.
