Working with Pearls: If you decide to use the pearls they must be strung onto
thread before you begin to crochet. As you crochet, push pearls down out of the
way and do not use unless instructed. When instructed to add pearls, slide pearl
next to last st made. Pearls will be on the right side of work.
