Knit your own My Beading Heart Scarf using these clearly-written instructions by knitwear designer Jackie E-S of HeartStrings FiberArts.

This lightweight, sparkly fashion scarf is a double treat for lovers of lace and beaded knitting. The design features laceweight yarn in closely-toned hues that is doubled to achieve added richness and depth, not to mention the bonus of quicker knitting.

Another double feature is the beading at each end of the scarf in different, yet coordinated designs to double your pleasure in the knitting and stylish wearing. The area between the pointed ends of the scarf transitions into a simpler bias lace with beads along the edges only, thus minimizing bulk and allowing the scarf to nicely pleat when wrapped about the neck.
