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.

Hat is sized for Adult Small-Medium[Large-Extra Large]. Size US 5 and 7 / 3.75 and 4.5 mm needles suggested. Crew Socks and Fingerless Mittens are sized for Adult Small[Medium,Large]. Size US 2 and 5[6,7] / 2.75 and 3.75[4,4.5] mm needles suggested. Written stitch instructions.
