A coordinated set that will tie a simple outfit together.  The basketweave-styled beading sets this ensemble apart from the ordinary.

Knit these in two colors of DK weight yarn of your choice and size 6/0 seed beads.

The interplay of the knit-purl basketweave texture and beaded knitting makes this a fun-knit project. The stitch pattern used for the center portion of the scarf is a slip-stitch pseudo-ribbing that gives an extra-soft cushion of comfort around your neck.

Scarf is planned for one size. Size 7 U.S. (4.5 mm) needles suggested.

Crew Socks are sized for Adult Small [Medium, Large]. Size 2 and 5 [6, 7] U.S. (2.75 and 3.75 [4, 4.5] mm) needles suggested.

Pictured models knitted in Heirloom Easycare 8, #711 (for scarf and cuffs of the anklets) and #779 (for ankle ribbing and feet of the anklets), and Miyuki beads #6-1427 Silver-lined Violet.

Crew Socks and Fingerless Mittens are sized for Adult Small [Medium, Large]. Size 2 and 5 [6,7] U.S. (2.75 and 3.75[ 4, 4.5] mm) needles suggested.

Pictured models knitted in Heirloom Easycare 8, #711 (for the lighter yarn) and #779 (for the darker yarn) and Miyuki beads #6-1427 Silver-lined Violet.

From HeartStrings designer, Jackie E-S:

The Skinny on Lace long scarf version shown on the left was knitted in Heritage Yarns Serenity cotton/rayon in the colorway, Atlantic Moonglow. Serenity comes in a huge skein 8 ounce skein (700 yds.), so there is plenty to make looooong scarves like this one (8-½ feet!) and still have lots of yarn left over to make something else.  I love how this is scarf is extra-long and can be wrapped and tied in so many ways.

Other yarn suggestions:  (F)

• 8/2 tencel knitted singly or doubled - 8 oz./1680 yds.
• Serenity cotton/rayon - 8 oz./700 yds.
• Cloud 9 cotton/rayon - 8 oz./832 yds.
• Jojoland Melody Superwash wool - 50g/220 yds.
