Beaded scarf and matching split-cuff anklets to make eyes turn your way. 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.

Mix-and-match ensemble of hat, crew socks and fingerless mittens to knit in two colors of DK weight yarn of your choice and size 6/0 seed beads.

Although the color work might appear involved, the slip-stitch color knitting is simple because you only need to handle one yarn color at a time. The beads give an added depth of color and look of complexity to an otherwise simple beaded knitting technique.

Hat is sized for Adult Small-Medium [Large-Extra Large].  Size 5 and 7 U.S. (3.75 and 4.5 mm) needles suggested.

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.
