Lace Mesh Cowl--Beaded or Not
The design of this infinity scarf is intriguing enough on its own, due to the stitches. But by adding beads, and using lace yarn with beautiful, long color-ways of stripes (such as Schoppel Laceball yarn), its effect is dazzling! The pattern is rhythmic and easily learned; the beads can be added using any technique (see note*** below) or omitted altogether.
Although the pattern is for an infinity scarf, it can easily be used as a straight scarf, unjoined. One long edge has an open lacy finish while the other has a tighter finish. By twisting the scarf, these edges alternate along the top & bottom of loop, and add further interest to the design elements.
Scarf dimensions: (Unblocked) 5 ½” x 72”. This is a very lightweight, lacy scarf which can easily be wrapped around neck twice or more, adding to the visual effect of color and design!
NOTE: This pattern is not meant to be a tutorial for beading. There are several different techniques, including pre-stringing beads and/or using crochet hooks, with wonderful tutorials online. It is an art easily learned.
