This top is worked bottom up in the round in stockinette stitch. Beads are added using a crochet hook. It is a great, soft tank top to transition into fall with because of its muted tones. Scattered seed beads in the diamond detail add a dash of sparkle, while the dark brown edging gives it a more modern look.

A helpful tutorial for placing beads with a crochet hook can be found on YouTube here: ‘Adding beads to knitting with a crochet hook or Superfloss’ by Bronwyn the Brave Designs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1YKyCrnoZE
