Here is an opportunity to play with this most wonderful pattern and the yarn of your choice. This web page offers the pattern and, if you so choose, a bead pack as well. Read on....
This design by Ellene Warren is just my cup of tea (to make a slight pun on the visions of a Garden Party). It is absolutely gorgeous.
I cannot say it enough. I have been making mine with a variegated colorway with predominantly reds and using Hot Pink Lined Crystal AB 6/0 beads with it.
The beads are on every-other yarn over in the open work sections. You can't see them too well in the photograph but in person, oh my goodness gracious.
This is so lovely!
I cannot bear to put it down. The design itself builds such a delightful rhythm and the scarf as it is coming off my needles is so absolutely breathtakingly lovely! Even my husband is impressed....!!
I had to do some of the fringe work to check it out -- great fun. You crochet charming little motifs and space them at the edge, with beads and crystals between, and leaves and other wonderful bead shapes scattered amongst it all. I must say this was the most fun I've had making anything. The last photo at the bottom of the page shows a close-up of these fringe details.
Fun.
Here we are offering here Ellene Warren's pattern for the Beaded Garden Party Scarf plus the option of getting a bead packet with enough supplies for the full and glorious scarf. The bead packet consists of the size 6/0 beads, plus at least 10 small crystals, 6 large crystals, 6 leaves and a mix of other shapes and forms to embellish your fringe (Ellene's pattern calls for at least 8 assorted beads)
You can use your own yarn (in which case, give us a hint of what overall colors you'd like the beads to "go" with [via the "Comments" section as you check out] or else we will send you neutrals)
With this offer of pattern and bead pack, we add the following: We happen to be especially fond of the fingering weight yarns we carry (ahem!) and if you choose enough of our fingering weight skeins for your piece [you will want at least 350 yards] (with this offer) we will match the beads to your yarn (of course) and add a Big Eye needle as our extra gift to you. You can follow the link below to see options.
I highly recommend.
