To begin, two shoulder pieces are knitted. Stitches are then picked up along these to first knit the back and then the front. The armholes are shaped using increases on the back and front. After the armholes, the piece is joined, and the body is knitted in the round. Finally, a beautiful wave edge is knitted.
A beautiful bead motif is incorporated on both the front and back.
Stitches for the sleeves are picked up along the armhole, and the sleeve cap is shaped using short rows, while the puff effect is created with increases at the top of the sleeve.
The neckline is finished with a ribbed edge.

Also available as a KIT including yarn, beads, and pattern, which you can find here.
