Beading a knitwork gives beautiful results and can turn an ordinary project into fine jewelry! Here is an easy way to bead a stitch with a small wire commonly called "tiger tail" that you will find in jewelry craft shop.
It's simple! If you can't get "tiger tail", you can use fishing line or any fairly rigid wire.
You can also use a crochet but the problem with crochet is that you need a very small one to enter the eye of a pearl are generally these crochet will be too small to catch the yarn completely which may split the yarn strand. Of course, each knitter and each yarn are unique so you have to find the method that suits you !!
Happy knitting!!

I use dental floss threaders. GUM puts out a version called Eez-Thru which come in a paper envelope. Easy to carry in a knitting bag, and free from my dental hygienist!
