Designed with very easy but pretty loopy edges, this scarf is mostly garter stitch and occasionally includes an eyelet row that can feature (if you like) a little bit of bling.

I chose to make the sample scarf quite long and narrow, but you can make it whatever width or length you prefer by simply adding or subtracting multiples of 2 stitches and finishing when you’re happy with the length. Knitting with beads is very, very easy to do and the instructions, as well as hints on choosing beads suitable for knitting, are included in the pattern.

Like all minimal knits | DESIGNED scarves, MK#32 drapes beautifully and is quick to knit because the pattern uses needles larger than is standard for the yarn.

The pictured scarf was made from a 100g skein of Bombed Yarns 4ply yarn (69% silk, 22% mohair and 9% polyamide) in the colour Snowflakes that Stay on my Nose and Eyelashes and measures 264 cm / 104 inches by 12 cm / 4¾ inches without blocking and not including the tassels.
