Venezia Napkin Rings

These are knitted wire and bead napkin rings I made for my family for Christmas. I made three different sets on 30 gauge wire and about 95 beads on each.
Made from Knitty's pattern. pattern

I strung the beads onto the wire before beginning to knit. There were 7 stitches and two beads in each row.

This is a close up of the first few rows of my napkin ring.

After the knitting is finished, I sewed the short ends together so no stitches fell out.

After the short ends are sewed together with wire, I use a long length of wire to sew the long ends together to form the tube. You can see the difference between the finished product (on the right) and the band (on the left).

This is one of the three sets of finished products.

Here are all three sets of napkin rings!
