Star of Butin Kit

Oooohhh… this ornament is ALL.ABOUT.BEADS! (With a few knit stitches in between!)

Star of Butin is knit from the outside in with beads slipped in between stitches. It uses a German Twisted cast on with beads. Star of Butin is inspired by one of Nelkin Designs' first jewelry patterns, Butin Collar.

Star of Butin is blocked and stiffened when finished. There is a DETAILED blog post on how to do this at nelkindesigns.com
