Beaded Knitting Pattern for Small Amulet Bag

Additional information can be found at my: beaded knitting overview.


You will need (4-5) strands or one tube (18g) size 11/0 seed beads
strung on a spool of DMC crochet cotton (perle 8).

If my calculations are correct, a total of 1,598 seed beads will be required for the knitting portion of this piece.

Using #000 steel knitting needles, cast on 18 stitches ~ leaving a 10” tail.

I use the long tail cast-on method so there is thread readily available for sewing your finished bag.

Matching corners, hand sew up both sides and turn right-side out. I like to spin satin rattail and attach it through assorted beads and findings ~ but this is where you can express your personality through the finishing touches.
