This is not an ensemble cast. There is no leading man.
It is all about the star—Risoni—a slubby silk yarn with a luxurious soft sheen. All this yarn needs is a simple shape to let its charisma take center stage.

Garter stitch ridges play off a stockinette backdrop with widely spaced decreases gently narrowing the shape. Knit the one- or three-skein version of this simply beautiful silk tie, with or without beads.

Small scarf is approximately 4” at wide end to 2” at narrow end and 60” long. Large scarf is approximately 12” at wide end to 2” at narrow end and 95” long.

Beads are optional. Directions are written for both beaded and unbeaded versions. There are tutorials referenced for pre-stringing beads, long tail beaded cast on, and beaded bind off.

Another option for the 3-skein scarf is color blocking with 2 or 3 colors.
