From the description: This is the perfect project if you want to try a little knitting with beads, but don’t want to use beads throughout. The small inset of beaded knitting works up quickly and the blouse design is a simple rectangle with just a small amount of decreasing o the sleeves. Make the short blouse, as shown, or keep knitting and create an over-sized long tunic or dress.
