Shine! Knitting with Beads by Pope Vergara

Add a little sparkle to your knitting with Shine! Knitting with Beads by Pope Vergara, a creative collection that explores the possibilities of combining knitting with beads, texture, colour, and unconventional construction.

Featuring 18 thoughtfully designed patterns, the book shows how beads can become much more than an embellishment. In Pope’s hands, they are a way to draw, paint, add texture, and transform even a simple garment into something distinctive and expressive.

The collection brings together a wide range of wearable projects, from sweaters and cardigans to vests, a top, a cowl, and a shawl. Each design is created with close attention to detail, using different yarns, construction methods, and beadwork techniques to create pieces that feel playful, polished, and full of personality.
