Knit One Bead Too (KOBT) is a versatile jewelry-making technique that combines the beauty of knitting with the sparkle of beads. By alternating rows of knitting with rows of beads, you can create a wide range of stunning pieces, from delicate earrings to bold necklaces.
In this comprehensive guide to KOBT, we will cover everything you need to know to get started, including:
* Materials * Instructions * Tips and tricks * Troubleshooting
Whether you are a seasoned knitter or a complete beginner, this guide will help you create beautiful KOBT jewelry.
Materials
To get started with KOBT, you will need the following materials:
* Yarn * Beads * Knitting needles * Beading needle * Scissors * Measuring tape or ruler
Yarn
Any type of yarn can be used for KOBT, but some yarns are better suited for the technique than others. For example, smooth yarns will slide through the beads more easily than textured yarns. You may also want to consider the weight of the yarn, as heavier yarns will create bulkier pieces.
Beads
The type of beads you use will depend on the look you want to achieve. For example, small seed beads will create a delicate look, while larger beads will make a bolder statement. You can also use a variety of shapes and colors of beads to create unique pieces.
Knitting Needles
The size of your knitting needles will depend on the weight of the yarn you are using. For example, if you are using a fingering weight yarn, you will need size 2 or 3 knitting needles.
Beading Needle
A beading needle is a thin needle with a sharp point that is used to thread beads onto the yarn.
Instructions
Once you have gathered your materials, you can begin knitting your KOBT piece.
Step 1: Cast on
Cast on the number of stitches required for your pattern.
Step 2: Knit a few rows
Knit a few rows of plain knitting to create a base for your beads. The number of rows you will need to knit will depend on the size of your beads and the look you want to achieve.
Step 3: Add beads
To add beads to your knitting, simply thread a bead onto the yarn and then knit the next stitch as usual. You can add beads to every stitch, or you can space them out to create a different look.
Step 4: Continue knitting
Continue knitting, alternating rows of plain knitting with rows of beads, until you reach the desired length.
Step 5: Bind off
Once you have reached the desired length, bind off the stitches.
Step 6: Finish
Weave in any loose ends and your KOBT piece is complete!
