Greetings! I am working on a hat, scarf and fingerless mitt set for my mom. In 2017 I modeled a pair of mitts that I blinged out, they are actually the ones on my Steemit cover photo...

My mom loved them and wanted some of her own. So I figured I would finish them up with you all and show how I add on the blingage using these metal lines beads.

First you mark the places where the beads will go. I did a quick measure of the beads to see how long they were to make sure they end up in the middle.

Place your G hook (or any small hook) right under the sc above the marker.

Now you add in your new piece of yarn making sure to leave enough tail for sewing in.

Ch 8. This will vary depending on the size of your beads and the amount. You’ll want to make enough chains where the beads fit on comfortably.

Insert beads onto chain.

Here’s a quick way to add the beads. Place the bead on your hook, grab the yarn loop with the hook and slide the bead onto the chain.

Once all beads are placed you will slst under the sc located above the second marker.

At this point you can remove your markers but leave your hook in. I had to make an adjustment and slst a little further away so the beads would lay flat. If you stitch them too close you will have an arch instead of a flat line. Finally, cut your yarn leaving room for sew in, pull up end with hook and then sew in both ends.

All Done!

I hope you enjoyed this simple and quick tutorial! You can use this method to bling out any of your projects! It gives it that extra flair and an added touch of class!
