Beadkerchief

Beadkerchief, a super simple top down neck-kerchief! I’ve incorporated a fun mix of beads into the bottom third of the shawl, using a SUPER simple knitting with beads technique. The bead mix does the work for you, allowing you to enjoy getting lost in your sparkly knitting! Beadkerchief is finished with a decorative beaded bind off, teaching you two fun beading techniques in one simple and wearable piece!

There are kits for Beadkerchief here (kits include pattern): http://www.nelkindesigns.com/BeadkerchiefKits

There is a BRAND NEW Bluprint class that teaches Beadkerchief and Filum (class includes pattern).
