Notes:

 

Shorts are worked from the waist down, without beads, with short row shaping at buttocks. Cami is worked top down
with beads in the lace hem.

Choosing beads: The beads need a hole large enough to accommodate the yarn and must withstand washing. (See “The Gentle Art of Knitting with Beads” in Yarn 6 for more about beads.)
