Amazing pattern that allows for showing off degradé yarn at its best, but no modifications - no fun

Loop cast on using the same needle as for the main part.
Everything knitted in stockinette stitich, apart from every other wrong-side row: I purled the first 6 stitches and knitted the rest to add some texture to the front side.

I added 9 beads per leaf:

• I added the beads while knitting the second half of the leaves (there are 2 stitches per row left when knitting short rows of the first part of the leaf)
• When you come to these two stitches, simply pull the second last stitch through the last stitch - 1 stitch left
• Place a bead
• Knit and purl in the same stitch: you have again your original 2 stitches, turn
• When knitting the right-side row of the second half of the leaf, slip the first stitch without knitting it: the hole will be a bit smaller, this looks more accurate (just my opinion)

That was a truly relaxing knitting. Thanks Drops for being so generous and providing free designs
