Bead Skinny Skarf, by HeartStrings, is a play on words, reflecting on the fashion of cinching in a waist to look skinny. Bead Skinny gives the illusion of cinching the curvy lines of the faux eyelet cable with a pretty bead.  A bonus is pleasing reversibility thanks to how the ribbed texture surrounding the lozenges of eyelets and the beads are equally prominent on both the right side and wrong side.

Note: It’s easy to make Bead Skinny Skarf longer if you want. Each 16-row repeat of the Main Pattern will add about 2.5” for which you will need 3 more beads and approx 9 more yards of yarn
