This scarf was designed especially for EtsyFAST’s August Challenge. The challenge to all EtsyFAST members was to create fiber art with a celestial theme. Thus, this scarf was born.
This is a great project to knit if you are new to beadwork. Only 14 beads are used in the entire scarf. Each set of 7 beads represents the Big Dipper within the Ursa Major constellation. All beads are attached by the slipped stitch technique, which is considered the easier of the two well-known techniques.
The entire scarf is knit with a technique called Double Knitting. The end result is a scarf that is twice as thick as other scarves, making it a perfect gift for someone who has to endure any cold, bitter winters.
