Some sparkling beads and a stockinette-based lace that lets that special skein of yarn shine combine to add a touch of glamour to a scarf designed to keep the chill off your neck or bring a bit of sparkle to cooler days.

A simple lace pattern makes for relaxed lace knitting, while a beaded cast-on and bind-off, and beads spaced out along the scarf, add just enough to make it special. Elegant without being fussy, it is the kind of scarf that can dress up a favorite sweater or peek out from the neck of a coat, catching the light as you move and adding a little intrigue wherever you go.

In addition to the yarn and needles you will need:

  • 126 size 6/0 seed beads. Please note that this number does not include any extras to compensate for unusable beads. It is recommended that you buy more than the required amount to have extras.
  • Crochet hook small enough to fit into your beads. I used a steel crochet hook #8
  • Big Eye beading needle for pre-stringing beads onto yarn
