Peek-a-Bead Scarf
HeartStrings knitting pattern #H83
Pin It
I named this scarf "Peek-a-Bead" because of the beaded accents nestling within a honeycomb of colorful knit fabric. Self-shaping edges, along with a pleasingly reversible textured knit/purl design, make this scarf extra fun to knit and a sure hit to wear.
Shown in Crystal Palace Sausalito color #8308 Monet. Miyuki seed beads color #430 Blue-lined White Ceylon

This project is good for the advancing beginner because the row has a small number of stitches and the stitch pattern is easy to see and memorize. Peek-a-Bead will also appeal to the skilled knitter looking for some relatively mindless knitting yet something to retain the interest.
Features
- textured knit and purl for pleasing reversibility
- undulating movement of color (to emphasize yarn with long runs of color)
- self-shaping edges
- and of course beaded accents here and there to add to the interest, rather than detract from the flowing colors of the yarn
