Shine! Knitting with Beads

Shine! Knitting with Beads  

Pope Vergara 

Shine! is an exploration of techniques, textures and knitting with beads. Each of the 18 designs has been crafted with love and attention to detail. The garments use a variety of yarns, unconventional constructions and beading in creative ways. Each new cast-on will connect you to the deep joy that can be found in knitting. 

Pope Vergara, a knitwear designer from Chile, has always loved knitting with beads. To her, they are a way to paint, to draw, and to transform knitting into something unique, allowing even the simplest garment to stand out with a touch of sparkle. “When I began designing patterns, my intention was that whoever knits them feels proud of what they created — and that when they wear their garment, they shine!”   

18 patterns: 10 sweaters, 3 cardigans, 2 vests, 1 short sleeved top, 1 cowl and 1 shawl.
