This design is spectacular!
Incredibly creative and unique.
A statement accessory.

The directions are very well written and the print is a nice size with clear sections and each row on a new line.
I really appreciate that.

Got this amazing yarn at a bargain.
Thought I was going to be short on yarn, so I adjusted.
Got to the last sections of either version and have plenty, so, am adjusting again.

Have beautiful 6/0 glass seed beads which are sadly extremely irregular. Can’t use half of them. Will keep going with beads until they run out.

Beading:
Many beads are applied on live loops.
It’s much easier to add beads for those locations on the previous row, which is the last stitch of the row.

Fringe:
The bead on the fringe shows up better and is positioned directly at the very tip of the fringe if the bead is applied on the 22nd stitch cast on and then working that same loop directly over the next one for the first binding off.

Errata:
section 11, p 5: Inc 1 stitch every other row, not 2.
section 20, r 7, omit ‘k1’ just prior to(k2tog, yo).
section 22, r 5: ignore ‘PM’
