If you’ve ever thought about knitting with beads before, this is your sign to do it!
Shine! Knitting with Beads by Pope Vergara is a lovely exploration of beadwork, texture, colour and unconventional construction – a collection of 18 beautiful knitting patterns designed to make your handknits feel a bit extra special.
Pope, a knitwear designer from Chile, has always loved knitting with beads as a way to paint and draw within her handknit garments, transforming knitting into something unique. Her knit designs use beads in lots of creative ways combining a variety of yarns, textures and exciting constructions that connect you to the deep joy that can be found in knitting.
Shine! Knitting with Beads includes everything from cosy sweaters and elegant cardigans to a fun cowl and shawl with beading woven into every single one.
She says, “When I began designing patterns, my intention was that whoever knits them feels proud of what they created – and that when they wear their garment, they shine!“

- 10 sweaters
- 3 cardigans
