HOLLICARRS
Beads are placed in a diamond pattern amongst the open trellis stitch of this stunning scarf to add a layer of detail and weight. Crochet it without embellishment for a lighter, pared-down version.

TOOLS

• Sewing needle and thread for threading beads
• Tapestry needle

PATTERN NOTES
• The crochet lace pattern of Hollicarrs is overlaid with a beaded trellis placed as you work.
• Beads should be threaded onto the yarn before starting or joining a new skein – the pattern will tell you how many beads to thread.
• The repeat in the Chart and Written Instructions differ but produce exactly the same pattern.
