HS - Beaded Lace Scarf II

HeartStrings Beaded Lace Scarf II

Knitted-in beads enhance the contours of a simple to knit swirly lace rectangular scarf. Only three pattern rows produce this lovely design!

Allow 475 yards of laceweight yarn for 11" x 62" scarf, or desired length with yardage adjustment. 7 stitches/inch over pattern, size US 4 / 3.5 mm needles suggested. Charted and written stitch instructions.

Beaded Scarf II looks lovely knitted in both variegated and solid color yarns.

Inset photo is knitted in Sterling Silk and Silver by Kraemer Yarns in color natural; the beads are Miyuki silver-lined clear crystal. Knitted in the fingering weight yarn (rather than a lighter weight lace yarn), this relatively wide scarf looks and feels more like a narrow shoulder stole. This sample in solid color is an example of choosing beads for a tone-on-tone look, whereas the solid color sample above in the camel color used beads in a contrasting color.
