Peek-a-Bead Scarf

HeartStrings knitting pattern #H83 Pin It

Bead accents nestle within a honeycomb of colorful knit fabric. Self-shaping edges, along with a pleasingly reversible textured knit/purl design, make this scarf fun to knit and wear.

Number of projects for this pattern that are posted on Ravelry

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
