Shine! Knitting with Beads - English

Shine! by Pope Vergara

Shine! is an inspiring knitting book that explores techniques, textures and knitting with beads. The book contains 18 carefully designed patterns, featuring a variety of yarns, unexpected constructions and creative bead details.

Each design has been created with great care, with the aim of making the knitting process itself as inspiring as the finished garment. Here you will discover how beads can be used to create texture, colour, shine and personal details that make even simple garments unique.

The book is by Pope Vergara, a knitting designer from Chile who has long had a special love of knitting with beads. For her, beads are a way of painting and drawing with knitting and of turning a garment into something entirely her own.

With Shine!, Pope wants to inspire more people to feel proud of what they make and to wear their hand-knitted garments with joy and confidence.
