Border
Original jumper was decorated with a diagonal arrangement of star flowers, each star consisting of 7 bugle beads stitched round a centre pearl (using 252 bugle beads and 36 pearls in all). Life-size close up shows a section of this arrangement, quite clearly, and you will be able to work from this and the model photograph if you wish to copy the original.
Alternatively, beads can be arranged to your own design, and you may prefer to plan them around the neckline instead of right down the front. Knitting instructions are given for 3 sizes.
Materials: Of Patons Beehive Fingering 2-ply, Patonised, 4 (5) 5 ozs. Pineapple Green 233. Pair each No. 12 and No. 13 Queen Bee
