“Simple garter-stitch knitting is enhanced with beads. The weight that the beads add to the scarf makes this accessory feel wonderful around your neck. Knit in two pieces, the fringe is formed as part of the cast on, and the two halves are grafted together in garter stitch. Instructions are included for stringing the beads. Beads are placed according to a chart.“ ~Joan
