How to Add Beads to Knitting as You Go

Putting the Stitch on the Needle.
Stitch and Bead Back on Needle

The stitch with the bead on it is now back on the needle.

Now just use the crochet hook to help you put the stitch, now being choked by the bead, onto the right-hand knitting needle. Do not try to knit the stitch.

The stitch should have enough stretch in it to allow you to place it over the needle even though the bead is taking up some of the stitch's space.
