Knit your own Beaded Diamond Mosaic Ensemble using these clearly-written instructions by knitwear designer Jackie E-S of HeartStrings FiberArts.

Beaded Diamond Mosaic is a mix-and-match ensemble of hat, crew socks and fingerless mittens to knit in two colors of DK weight yarn of your choice and size 6/0 seed beads.

Although the colorwork might appear involved, the slip-stitch color knitting is simple because you only need to handle one yarn color at a time. The beads give an added depth of color and look of complexity to an otherwise simple beaded knitting technique.
