Swatching

Swatched with 4.5mm needles, I did not like such openwork with linen. Ironing steam top temp worked well for “blocking”. Stretchy knitted cast on with yarn held double. A bigger needle for CO would be best.

Swatching with 3.5mm, much better. Beading both stringing (for YOs) and hooking with crochet (for knit or purl stitches). 6/0 scarlet beads (10 g MATSUNO Seed Beads 6/0 06-007 http://shop.fofinhas-perlenstuebchen.de/product_info.php/...)
