Bead Tips & Notes
Beads must be pre strung onto the yarn. Normally, we would suggest stringing all the beads you would need onto the yarn before you knit. Then when you need the bead you simply slide the bead up the yarn and place it. But, this yarn is a single ply yarn. That means that friction could cause the yarn to felt or fuzz. We have approximately 66o beads in this scarf and that is a lot of friction on the yarn. We suggest, insteadof stringing allthebeads at nce, that you string about of the beads at atme.elieve u th tails you'll have to weave in are worth it. Did you knowthat beads show up on the opposite side ofthe row you are placing them on?Soin our scaf, albeads are placed on the wrong side rows?
Pattern Tips & Notes
While you are dropping yarn overs, either single or double, on right side (rs) rows 9 and 11 and following repeats...the last yarn over will be between the two stitches you need to knit together. So, when you get to 3 stitches before the end of the row (you will have 5 loops on your needle -- 3 will be actual stitches and 2 will be yarn overs) you'll need to do the following. Slip the first stitch to the right needle, drop the yarn over, then slip that same stitch back to the left needle and knit that stitch together with the 2nd stitch. Then drop the next yarnover and knit the last stitch. darnknitanyway.com 651342.1386
