There are some accessories that provide warmth and comfort, and then there are some that glimmer like jewelry. Nacre, this week’s free pattern, provides a little bit of both. Nacre is a lace cowl knit in Berroco Folio™ with a few well-placed beads. There are many ways to knit with beads, but this particular technique is simple to master with beautiful results. These beads are all strung onto the yarn before casting on. That way, when the pattern calls for a bead, you just reach down and pull one up. Want to see how it’s done? Watch our how-to video before you try it yourself.
