Wind in the Willows - Clues 4 and 5

I finished up Clue 4 on May 26, but couldn't post about it until the clue came out to the complete group, and that happened while I was at Bead & Button, so no blogging.  It was a straight forward piece of knitting, but the first time that beads were called for.

Then came the challenge of the final increase.  I agonized over this one for quite a while, trying to make sure that I did not screw up the symmetry of the design.  I actually graphed out the transition from clue 4 to clue 5 with the increases just to make sure it was correct.  As far as I can tell it is.
