Material

 1 circular knitting needle (US size 2.5 / 3 mm, 24 inches to 32 inches / 60 bis 80 cm long)
 150g of Sport (6-ply) yarn; you can also use 4-ply yarn (sock yarn weight). The cowl will be
a little smaller then with the number of stitches given here.
 Beads, e.g. Rocailles, with an outside diameter of ca. 4mm and a hole diameter of 1.5 mm;
400 beads will be enough

Photo tutorial for knitting in the beads

1. Before you knit the stitch where a bead

is to be positioned, skewer the bead on
the thin crochet hook.

2. With the bead on the hook you insert

the hook tip into the loop of the stitch...

3. ... and pull the loop through the hole of

the bead. Hold the bead in position with
your fingers when pulling through the
loop.
