Good Karma Scarf
I set out to find a simple definition of the word Karma, only to discover that it is more complex than I could have imagined. I had always thought of Karma as the effect of doing good in the world and good coming back to you. It is, and there’s much more. A quick internet search revealed that Karma has multiple definitions and meanings – much to study if you are so inclined.
This yarn is a marvelous blend of textures and colors – a feast for the eyes and fingers. Adding beads makes it more fun and fabulous.
Generate good Karma by knitting one for a family member or friend. It’s a perfect warm weather knit!
May you always have Good Karma. Enjoy!

Materials
One skein of Lang Yarns, Karma, 312 yards.
The sample in the pictures is color #0004.
42% Cotton/25% Viscose/25% Acrylic/8% Linen.
Size 7 needles, circular or straight, in any length.
It is knit flat.
60 grams of TOHO 6/0 round beads. (I made a three-color bead mix for this project. The beads are strung in no color order.)
1.3mm (US10) steel crochet hook for the beaded
bind off.
Bead stringing materials.
(Beads are totally optional, too.)

Pattern Notes
It is approximately 5 1/4” wide x 70” long.
Gauge: Approximately 5 sts./in. and 6 rows/in.
Gauge is not critical for the project.
The scarf is knit flat. There is a Right Side (RS) and Wrong Side (WS). Place a locking stitch marker on the right side to identify it.
Cast on with beads. Bind off with beads using a small steel crochet hook. Beads are optional, and they are fun,
so why not try it? Except for the cast on and bind off, the beads are placed in the body of the scarf on WS rows between two knit stitches. They will be prominent on the RS of the work. There are 15 beads in the body rows and 29 beads each for the cast on and bind off. String approximately half the number of beads onto the yarn. You will need to cut the yarn and string the remaining beads after you use up the first half. (The beads are optional, of course.)
Place a ring marker after the first repeat in Section 3, Row 5. Move the marker as you knit to it for all subsequent rows. This will help you to stay on track.

Enjoy!
