Notes:

1. When working charts for X-Small/Small, follow all red lines and red bead symbols. When working charts for Medium, follow all yellow lines, and all yellow and red bead symbols.
2. To string beads onto yarn, cut a 10”/25.5cm length of sewing thread, then thread it through sewing needle. With thread ends even, make an overhand knot close to the ends forming a loop. Insert the end of the yarn through the sewing thread loop for approximately 10”/25.5cm. thread beads onto needle, then slide them down onto the yarn.
3. Place all three bead colors into a small bowl, then mix together. Thread beads onto yarn, picking colors at random. See individual instructions for how many beads to thread on for each part of pullover. Note that you will be threading on more beads then needed in case of mistakes or damaged beads. If you come across a bead that is damaged, you can remove it from the yarn by breaking it with pliers.
4. All ribbed bands are unbeaded yarn.
