From Knitting New Scarves:

Maybe you would prefer to knit white pearls or multicolored beads. Whichever you choose, you should be aware that people like to squeeze and play with this scarf. Knitting Pearls in public could be hazardous to the progress of your knitting! There is a lot of decreasing and increasing as you knit around, but the knitting progresses rapidly and each completed Pearl brings with it a wonderful sense of accomplishment.

Requires four US 8 double-pointed needles. The pattern also calls for 8 ounces of Peace Fleece Batting for stuffing.
