From the description: Here I have used large iridescent beads in a sampling based on an old purse pattern that would have been used as an allover pattern for a bag worked in silk thread and small seed beads. The use of specific increases, by knitting into the back of the strand between stitches, gives a clean-finished look to the bead pattern at the scarf ends.

Materials:

  • approximately 425yds (392m) of worsted weight yarn
  • 1450 size 5 seed beads with holes large enough to string onto the yarn
